Happiness: How to Find It and Keep It

Happiness uses fictional dialogues, in the manner of Plato's famous philosophical writings, to convey a compelling mix of Eastern wisdom and Western philosophy. This enlightening guide is organized into 20 dialogues, each dealing with a common source of unease. At the start of each one, the seeker asks a question, such as "How can I stop worrying so much about small things?" or "How can I feel more confident in my own abilities?" In the conversation that follows, the sage looks at the question from all sides, realistically and imaginatively. The seeker reacts with further questions, bringing readers into the process of discovering what makes them happy and how to attain it.
