This little book serves as a welcome reminder of how triple-happy a simple life can be: when it's lived, when it's remembered, and when it's shared. It also underscores how much happiness can be experienced as a result of observation, appreciation, and awareness of the present.
"A Private History of Happiness" is a pleasant, joyful, wonderful collection of excerpts from writers worldwide over thousands of years. Most of these original entries are less than a page long, and each is followed by the author's commentary, usually of slightly greater length. Each commentary is mostly a summary or synopsis of the original brief selection. At first I didn't quite appreciate why the author added commentary rather than just serving as an editor for a collection of the original excerpts, as in most cases the commentary was essentially a rephrasing without adding much insight in terms of contextual background. However, I eventually began to appreciate the meditative value of the commentary portions. Also, in many cases the commentary did provide some valuable insight into the character of the excerpt's author which helped convey just how relative happiness can be: although most of the pleasures recounted are simple ones, an account of a routine occurrence that many may take for granted becomes all the more remarkable, significant, and infused with meaning when one realizes its author normally had a taciturn or even depressed disposition, or had experienced much hardship.
The excerpts are grouped by subject. A few groupings -- such as Friendship, Family, and Love -- clearly emphasize relationships, and it would have been nice if a section on "Pets" were included.Read more ›

Quick delivery, well packaged, excellent quality and price. It is much better to cook with the blanched super fine almond flour and thus us nit easily available in local retailers.
