Happiness uses fictional dialogues, in the manner of Plato's famous philosophical dialogues, to convey a compelling mix of Eastern wisdom, Western philosophy, and downright common sense, applied to a range of modern life goals and predicaments. Eavesdropping on enlightening conversations between a sage and a seeker, the book offers guidance and insights that will touch and transform anyone's life. Happiness is organized into 20 dialogues, each dealing with a common source of unease. At the start of each one the seeker asks a question, such as "How can I stop worrying so much about small things?" or "How can I feel more confident in my own abilities?" In the conversation that follows, the sage's responses look at the question from all sides, realistically and imaginatively. The seeker reacts with further questions, bringing readers into the process of discovering what makes them happy and how to attain it.Oliver, Joan Duncan is the author of 'Happiness How To Find It And Keep It' with ISBN 9781844831326 and ISBN 1844831329.
