You've heard it said again and again since childhood...avoid those seven deadly sins: lust, anger, pride, sloth, envy, gluttony,and greed(insert boo-hiss here). Oh yes, you know they're wicked, you do your best to beat them down. But what if, just what if, you should be basking in these baddies rather than shunning them? What if a life reveling in the seven sins would bring you overwhelming happiness, never-ending fulfillment? And what if there were seven other sins that you should be dodging? In The Seven Lively Sins, best-selling author Karen Salmansohn turns the familiar sins on their heads and dares us to indulge in them with gusto. What's more, she unmasks the seven so-much-deadlier sins: emotional masochism, guilt, fear, repression or self-expression, need for speed, worryand apathy. These are the real spirit-killers, so watch out for them! If they sneak into your life, you're guaranteed a joyless future. But if you welcome those seven lively sins, well, a good time will be enjoyed by all. So be lustful! Be greedy! Be happy, dammit!
