The Discovery of Happiness - McCready, Stuart
KORTE INHOUD
This book traces the history of happiness in Western and Asian societies using religion and philosophy as a basis for analysis. The discovery of happiness analyses Hindu, Buddhist, Judaism, Christian scripture plus Greek philosophical points of views on contentment and happiness--and how these anciet views can applied to achieve maximization in ones life in present day. Moreover, happiness is a state of mind that can only be achieved through internal self maximization, contentment, dignity and selfless concern for the welfare of others. Although, religion, relationships, democracy, prestige, love, and even artificial drugs can help achieve happiness in a short term basis, again, it is self awareness, contentment, selfless concern of others which are the true first steps of achieving happiness.--Amazon.
