how true happiness is. It doesn’t come from pretending.

BEING HUMAN MEANS A SIMPLE LIFE WITH GOOD FAITH AND ACTION

how true

happiness is. It doesn’t come from pretending.

In short, a lot of people believe that if you’re

happy, you’re doing it wrong. They’re afraid of

happiness because they think it means losing

touch with reality, or being foolish, lazy,

selfish, or bad. But that’s not how true

happiness is. It doesn’t come from pretending.

It doesn’t come from making a lot of money,

being powerful, owning a lot of things, or

sitting on the beach all day eating bonbons,

either. Real happiness is:

_Love

_Optimism

_Courage

_Freedom

_Proactivity

_Security

_Health

_Spirituality

_Altruism

_Perspective

_Humor

_Purpose1

These are true virtues. I don’t know any god or

man who looks down on these qualities, and

they are the keys to enjoying life. They can be

yours—that’s what this book is about.
