Summary:
"Since antiquity, people have been asking themselves what it means to live a
good
life
. How should I live? What's the role of fate? What's the role of money? Is it a question of mindset, or is it more about reaching your goals? Is it better to actively seek
happiness
or to avoid unhappiness? We're constantly searching for a single principle, a single tenet, a single rule. Yet this single, simple path to
happiness
doesn't exist. Rolf Dobelli, a successful businessman, made finding a shortcut to
happiness
his
life
's mission. He's synthesized the leading thinkers and the latest science in
happiness
in this follow-up book to The
Art
of Thinking Clearly. A toolkit designed for practical living, with fifty-two
happiness
hacks - from guilt-free shunning of technology to gleefully paying your parking tickets - that are certain to optimize your
happiness
. These tips may not guarantee you a
good
life
, but they'll give you a better chance. Rolf Dobelli is a novelist, sailor and pilot. He lives in Lucerne, Switzerland"--Provided by publisher.
