The Art of the Good Life 52 Surprising Shortcuts to Happiness, Wealth, and Success
Since antiquity, people have been asking themselves what it means to live a good life . How should I live? What constitutes a good life ? What's the role of fate? What's the role of money? Is leading a good life a question of mindset, or is it more about reaching your goals? Is it better to actively seek happiness or to avoid unhappiness? Each generation poses these questions anew, and somehow the answers are always fundamentally disappointing. Why? Because we're constantly searching for a single principle, a single tenet, a single rule. A simple path to happiness doesn't exist. Rolf Dobelli, businessman and founder of the TED-style conference World Minds, has synthesized the leading thinkers and the latest science in happiness to find the best shortcuts to satisfaction. The Art of the Good Life is a toolkit designed for practical living. A good life isn't guaranteed, but that doesn't mean we can't strive for it—and this book will give you a better chance at happiness.
