By: Martin K. Ettington

Length: 1 hr and 47 mins

Publisher's summary

The history of the search for happiness is one of philosophical discussion going back to ancient times. Many philosophers have had views on happiness from at least the Greek’s time. The pursuit of happiness is even written into the US Declaration of Independence as a right of every individual. Many wise people believe that an individual’s search for true happiness should be the highest goal in one’s life.

In this audiobook, we review the history of the search for happiness. This is followed by trying to define what happiness is - and is not. Then, there are several chapters on illusions in our lives and how these impeded finding true happiness. Finally, a spiritual approach is provided to help the listeners in their own search for true happiness.

Interesting

I devoured this cute, easy-to-read book in one sitting. Very positive and uplifting. It's delightfully flavored with A Course in Miracles--meaning two prime points: We need not look outside of ourselves for peace and happiness, and our thoughts create the world we live in. The book was written and received in love.

Valuable

Martin is awesome . . . and has a beautiful and powerful message to deliver in this lovely book filled with depths of meaning! Though small, it should weigh pounds and pounds for the value therein!
