Condition: New

In The Book on Happiness B Yin R guides the reader to a new and deeper understanding of the spiritual laws at the root of happiness. He stresses the importance of finding happiness in this life; it is happiness that gives life its meaning and lifts it out of drudgery and pain. Happiness here on earth is the basis for happiness in life beyond.B Yin R defines happiness as the joy that comes from creative endeavor whether through work, the building of a loving relationship or, most fulfilling of all, the development of one's inner self. Happiness is not given to us by luck or fate; rather, it must be actively sought and forged out of whatever circumstances life gives us--even the most difficult. We must turn our thoughts to beauty, strength and soundness, transforming ourselves into "solid optimists" so that we become magnets of good fortune.Creating happiness is our moral duty: It is a responsibility we have to both ourselves and others. Since we are part of a greater web of life, everything we do as individuals affects the balance of the whole world. As more people develop their capacity for happiness, the waves of their cumulative energy go forth to renew all humanity.E.W.S., PublisherThe Kober Press's translations of the books of B Yin R are the only English translations authorized by the Kober Verlag, Switzerland.
