Happiness

Wealth, fitness, and career success can be as ephemeral as happiness. In his new book, Happiness, French philosopher Matthieu Ricard presents an argument for happiness as a goal that people should pursue at least as vigorously as any of their other goals. Drawing from Western philosophy, poetry, scientific research, and his own experiences with the Buddhist religion, Ricard weaves an inspirational account of how we can rethink our realities in a modern world.
