About the book: 1960 / This book was written for those who want to grow up happy and help everyone become happy. So it's for you too. I am sure: you, my friend, dream that you and other people have a very good life. Is it true? Who doesn't want that? I have heard a lot of different debates about happiness. Some said: “Strength, health - all happiness lies in them.” Others disagreed: “Living richly, having everything - that’s what happiness is!” Still others argued: “Happiness is glory: so that everyone knows you!” “Knowing your business well in life means being happy,” many argued. And others added: “The main thing for happiness is a clear conscience, so that you are not ashamed to look people in the eye.” And I have heard many other discussions about happiness. I just haven’t heard anyone say: “I don’t want happiness. I don’t want a good life! I want to be unhappy.” I have never met such eccentrics. All people want to be happy. But how do we understand happiness? What is it?
