Happiness Is a Serious Problem

A Human Nature Repair Manual
Book • 1998
In this book, Dennis Prager explores the concept of happiness as a moral obligation rather than just a value.

He argues that achieving happiness requires a continuous process of counting one's blessings, giving up unrealistic expectations, and taking responsibility for one's life.

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.
