A Human Nature Repair Manual

In this book, Dennis Prager explores the concept of happiness as a moral obligation rather than just a value.

Prager emphasizes the importance of gratitude, self-control, and avoiding a victim mentality, highlighting that these elements are crucial for maintaining happiness.
The book also discusses how happiness affects not only the individual but also those around them, creating a positive environment for others to thrive.
