JOE BENNETT'S SEARCH FOR JOY IN THE PRESENT TENSE (Letter to Dompost, January 7)

Joe Bennett’s far too intelligent to believe real joy can be found in a glass of champagne (At last – permission to live, January 7), but he doesn’t know where else to look.

The art of being ‘as joyous as possible in the present tense’ is explained by 17th-century Jesuit Jean-Pierre de Caussade in his spiritual classic The Sacrament of the Present Moment which will tell Joe, and anyone else who’s interested, just how to achieve ‘this unworried present-tense existence’.
