Happiness A Very Brief Introduction

What some call moments of happiness, such as the birth of a child, the success of a child, the recovery of a patient, a moment of victory, a moment of honor, praise, and recognition, or the achievement of an accomplishment or discovery, others see as moments of pleasure and joy that should not be described as happy. Happiness, they believe, is more stable, lasting, and comprehensive. What is happiness and what is its reality? Is it the ultimate goal of humanity? Is it objective or subjective? What are its components, means, and characteristics? Is it possible? Can it exist completely and purely? This book presents the concept of happiness and life satisfaction, in addition to its various standards and sources, and how each of us thinks about it as a type of emotional life evaluation, especially since the approach to seeking happiness followed in many societies is ineffective, even self-destructive and frustrating. However, this book presents a sufficient number of opposing viewpoints for the reader to reach his or her own conclusion. Al-Obeikan Publishing
