1.Happier by: Tal Ben-Shahar October 01, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $15.86 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $22.52
I really liked this book. Although I wouldn't say I'm a particularly unhappy person, who couldn't benefit from some more happiness? While doing a little searching on the subject of happiness, the book caught my eye with its bright red and yellow cover. Glancing through the book, the infomation caught my attention. I guess what I liked best about it was the realistic approach of the author. Right off the bat, the book makes it clear that the goal should not so much to be happy, but rather to be "happier"- hence the reason for the title of the book. As the book points out, trying to be happy suggests it is a point you reach and then you've "made it." Wrong. Nobody goes around in a perfectly blissful state all the time and pursuing such a goal is doomed to fail. Instead, trying to ... Read More

3.The Question of Happiness: On Finding Meaning, Pleasure, and the Ultimate Currency by: Tal Ben-Shahar 2002-08
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $110.45
I suppose that I approach life from a different point of view than the author. He thinks that the reason to do good things is so that you will be happy -- at the end of the day, for the author -- it is all about internal, self-involved feelings. My view is fundamentally different: One should do the right, good, and kind thing, irrespective of whether it will bring you happiness; once one adopts this attitude, happiness is very likely to follow. Trying to maximize happiness (which is very different from maximizing pleasure) is like chasing a rainbow's end -- you will never arrive at your hoped-for destination. You must step outside of yourself and your own desires to become truly happy. That being said, the author is bright and entertaining -- and I do not mean to suggest that he is not a ... Read More
