Happiness is a Serious Problem: a Human Nature Repair Manual

?There is perhaps no more important task for a person than the search for happiness, and no more reliable guide in that quest than Dennis Prager and Happiness Is A Serious Problem.? - Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen To Good People*

?In all my studies of happiness, one of the most significant conclusions I have drawn is that there is little correlation between the circumstances of people's lives and how happy they are.?

Here's the Repair Manual We Should Have Been Handed at Birth. When you ask people about their most cherished values in life, ?happiness? is always at the top of the list. However, unhappiness does not seem to be the exception in contemporary society'it's practically the rule. Why? Because human nature is insatiable. In order to be happy, we first have to battle ourselves.

In Happiness Is a Serious Problem, Dennis Prager provides you with a lifetime's worth of insights and techniques for beating human nature. He teaches you how to repair the problem spots in your nature and how to find lasting happiness.

Attain Happiness by Understanding It.

How can we overcome our insatiable natures? Using real life examples, Prager helps you understand the difference between what will make you personally happy and what others have convinced you will make you happy, and he shows how to isolate and repair these false assumptions.

Happiness Is a Habit.

Prager teaches you how to shockproof your happiness against the inevitable trials of a profoundly difficult world. From establishing a sense of meaning and purpose to your life to letting happiness be a by-product of other pursuits, Prager gives you the tools and strategies you'll need to make your happiness last.

Happiness Is an Obligation'to Yourself and to Others.

Not only do we have a right to be happy, we have an obligation to be happy. Our happiness has an effect on the lives of everyone around us'it provides them with a positive environment in which to thrive and to be happy themselves.\

 ?Ask any child what it was like to grow up with an unhappy parent, or ask parents what daily pain they suffer if they have an unhappy child,? argues Prager. ?It then becomes obvious why happiness is a moral obligation.?
