There is a word that has followed the human race since its earliest moments of self-awareness. It has outlasted empires, survived revolutions, and persisted through every philosophical and religious upheaval of recorded history. It appears in the dreams of ancient Greeks and the social-media captions of twenty-first-century Americans alike. That word is happiness. Few things have been pursued with such intensity, and understood so poorly. Across every civilization, in every century, millions of people have organized their entire lives around the hope of reaching some state they imagine as the culmination of all effort, all sacrifice, all striving. They have loved, built, accumulated, competed, prayed, and persevered with one quiet assumption running beneath it all: that happiness is waiting somewhere, just a little further ahead.
This book invites the reader on a journey of self-discovery and reflection.
Main themes:
- Philosophy and personal development
- Psychology applied to everyday life
- Reflection and critical thinking
An essential read for those seeking to understand themselves better.
