A big subject: Happiness

This book is part of a series that includes Compassion, Joy, andfForgiveness, to name a few. Each, including this newest one, offers the reader a chance to contemplate their life and how it might best be lived.

The author believes that it is the total absence of desire that brings happiness. Do you agree? This means that pleasure seeking and acquisition (more things) will never bring the happiness that is this book’s subject. Think about this is what the reader is urged to do.

This is not a book with a quick fix to attain happiness as can be seen right from the first few pages of this title. Read this book to ponder essentials that are inner. It is not for everyone but it will be welcomed and will resonate for some.

I felt mixed about this book. It seemed a bit ponderous in its presentation.

Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for this title. All opinions are my own.
