Description

Asking about the nature of happiness is equivalent to questioning the meaning of our own existence. Happiness is a search throughout one’s life; unhappiness, on the other hand, is the abandonment of the desire to continue living. More than a goal, happiness is a state of mind and philosophers have reflected throughout history on it. The lesson is that happiness is indeed the greatest good, but a good that requires effort, patience, perseverance and time. This book does not contain recipes for achieving fulfillment, but there are plenty of reasons not to cease to the discouragement of an existence that is paradoxical, contingent and limited, but at the same time could be rich and hopeful.
