Amazon.com description: Product Description: A huge bestseller in Europe, Frederic Lenoirâs Happiness is an exciting journey that examines how historyâs greatest philosophers and religious figures have answered lifeâs most fundamental question: What is happiness and how do I achieve it?
From the ancient Greeks onâfrom Aristotle, Plato, and Chuang Tzu to the Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad; from Voltaire, Spinoza, and Schopenhauer to Kant, Freud, and even modern neuroscientistsâLenoir considers the idea that true and lasting happiness is indeed possible.
In clear language, Lenoir concisely surveys what the greatest thinkers of all time have had to say on the subject, and, with charming prose, raises provocative questions:
Â
·     Do we have a duty to be happy?
·     Is there a connection between individual and collective happiness?
·     Is happiness contagious?
·     Is there a difference between pleasure and happiness?
·     Can unhappiness and happiness coexist?
·     Does our happiness depend on our luck?
Â
Understanding how civilizationâs best minds have answered those questions, Lenoir suggests, not only makes for a fascinating reading experience, but also provides a way for us to see us how happiness, that most elusive of feelings, is attainable in our own lives.
