Description
What is your happiest moment? How can you know it? Do we waste time or does time waste us? Are questions about meaning truly meaningful? What’s really important? Drawing on literary and philosophical sources ranging from Alice in Wonderland and The Little Prince to Leo Tolstoy, King Solomon and Friedrich Nietzsche, Haim Shapira invites us to challenge our perspectives on happiness and provides us with alternative ways to appreciate what is important. As Haim concludes it is in the spaces between the possible paths that we might take that we are able to find a place of grace, and where the things that matter to us will light our way. The choice is ours.

I finished reading this book last night. Today, I started it again. This book is THAT good. Haim Shapira uses quotes, personal insights and knowledge gained from various sources to discuss happiness and other emotions. This book has brilliant quotes and a good amount of humour. The whole thing is a delight to read and I highly recommend it. It made me think, it will do the same for you.
