Acerca del libro
Carved above the door post of nearly every house and building in the ancient Roman city of Pompei were the words, Hic Habitat Felicitas, Here Dwells Happiness. As opposed to today, where happiness is often thought of as something elusive, just out of our reach, reserved for only a few, or realizable only in the hereafter, these inscriptions, some still preserved, serve to remind us that many people believed happiness could be achieved right at home, that it is available to anyone of us and in our power to realize.
Despite our modern skepticism about happiness and the deep link connecting it to chance, our happiness is much more within our grasp than we tend to think. Rather than seeing ourselves as resigned to being on the receiving end of forces outside of our control, we might take some time to reflect on just how much we can actually do to achieve happiness for ourselves. The goal of this book is to offer up some such reflections and to get us started on what we each might take to be our own path towards happiness. Whether it be through a change of perspectives and attitudes, the recognition of certain insights, or the development of certain techniques, we too may confidently go on to hang that shingle above our own doors – Here Dwells Happiness.
