pWhat is true happiness Is it achievable That is the subject of a new book titled Happiness is a Choice, written by Julia Richard. The book is both a discourse on the nature of happiness and a practical guide for increasing happiness in your life. So many of us go through life feeling miserable and do not understand why. Even when we succeed at something, we still feel like a failure. Happiness is a Choice will show you that happiness really is a possibility and there are practical steps for getting there.pp ppDrawing from a broad philosophical perspective, Julia Richard lays out different paths to deep enduring happiness. One of those paths is presented in the teachings of the Dalai Lama who believes that everybody wants true happiness. He also believes that the purpose of life is to seek happiness. However, the Dalai Lama is far from alone in believing this. In ancient Greek philosophy, both Aristotle and Epicurus also think the purpose of life is to attain happiness.pp ppJulia Richa
