'Happiness: A Philosopher's Guide' By Frédéric Lenoir

  Do we have a duty to be happy? Is there a connection between individual and collective happiness? Is happiness contagious?

Frédéric Lenoir explores these questions and more in his book, Happiness: A Philosopher's Guide. In understanding how civilization’s best minds - from Aristotle, Plato, and Chuang Tzu to the Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad; from Voltaire, Spinoza, and Schopenhauer to Kant, Freud, and even modern neuroscientists - have answered those and other questions we are shown a way to happiness, that most elusive of feelings, and how it is attainable in our lives.
