The Book on Happiness will guide the reader to a new and deeper understanding of the final roots of happiness and of the hidden laws of nature that underlie and regulate all forms of life, both in the physical and in the spiritual dimensions of reality. Because these laws consistently affect events in human life, no less than any law of physics, they must be carefully observed if one would lead a happy and productive life. In the present book the author shows that happiness in human life is not a random gift of fortune, which some receive and others seek in vain, but the inevitable consequence of all creative, ethical activity. Spiritually considered, happiness is an experience that every human being is not merely able to create, but morally required to attain. It is an obligation every person has to meet, a debt we owe both to ourselves and to society as such. Contents: Prelude. Creating Happiness as Moral Duty. "I and "You." Wealth and Poverty. Money. Optimism. Conclusion.

This book is alive,
By Alma (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Book on Happiness (Paperback)
This book can provide every reader with a deep insight into human happiness, very much forgotten in today's lifestyle. Every new reading of this book helps making a little step toward our own positive strength and building our own living happiness that would not vanish after external circumstances are changed. Moreover, a rare knowledge, independent on any belief or illusive appearance of social masks. It is simply good to know that somebody with such insight had existed and left the way behind himself. The translation of this book is poetic and rich, truly enjoyable for reading.

One of my favourites,
By Rutger (The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Book on Happiness (Paperback)
"People who are looking for a certain luxury are searching for that commodity, not for happiness".The true source behind honest HAPPINESS is made clear; as BYR states elsewhere in about these words: the "fulfilling transformation from 'work' into 'a work'....". An incredible book and definitely worthwhile reading. Further: about the innocent, open-minded exploring, happy behaviour of the child and the obligation for us to create our own happiness (it doesn't "luckily reach us" while it "does reach others") -- always in an "eternal focus", so that it is of benefit to the individual now and after this life - and to the contemporary world around him.
