Happiness Is a Serious Problem

A Human Nature Repair Manual

Resumen del Editor

When you ask people about their most cherished values in life, "happiness" is always at the top of the list. But surprisingly, few people claim real happiness. We seem to be completely satisfied with nothing, and indeed, there is little correlation between the circumstances of people's lives and how happy they are.

In this book, lecturer, theologian, philosopher, and Los Angeles radio personality Dennis Prager ruminates on what makes happiness such a serious problem to solve. He discusses the difference between happiness and success, and between happiness and fun, and how to adjust our expectations of life. Prager maintains that insatiable human nature makes lasting happiness profoundly difficult to achieve, but that nevertheless, it can be a reality. When happiness is treated with the same level of seriousness that people bring to life’s other tasks, it becomes immediately more tangible and thus achievable.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Astonishing...anyone who feels unhappy more than he would like will benefit from reading this book." ( Wall Street Journal)

"Prager's latest book challenges readers to realize that they—not any outside force—are the greatest obstacle to happiness.” ( Los Angeles Times)

Great

I loved it. Well worth the read. You're in control of your own mental wellbeing.

Excellent read!

Makes sense the entire book. Great points. Definitely recommending to my family and friends. Thank you!

Concise, yet wide-ranging coverage

Happiness is my forte and I research every good book I can find. This one is a treasure trove of realistic, implementable thoughts, ideas and admonitions. It seemed as if Dennis Prager himself were narrating, so good was the narrator. Worth a second listen in a few months, I added it to my FAVS collection.

very nice treatment of happiness.

being there is a wash of books on seeking happiness and a large portion of those new age trash, to find one authentic and wise is a treat.This book seems to me a real treat.I agree greatly with all but one chapter in this book.That chapter is on unconditional love with God,yet even this mr.Prager handles as his opinion only based on his Jewish possition.I highly respect this even though I do not experience the Love of God as non-unconditional as he does. yet his opinion does contains wisdom gems within it,for I agree that the idea of unconditional love is often used and abused out of context .I very much like this author and thinker.He goes straight to first principles again and again.I beleive you will like this book and if by its teaching your a little more happy,isnt that worth a credit..hope you enjoy...

I feel happier

Gratitude, personal responsibility, moderation, contention, and externalozation are a few of the issues Prager touches on in this complete guide to happiness. Written in a way a tween could easily understand, but a seasoned pHd philosopher could get wisdom from

One great book

One of the best books I have ever read. The book to be reread multiple times.

important life lessons!

One of the most important messages out there! The only thing that would make this book better is if Dennis read it himself.

5 stars
