Synopsis

Por que la felicidad parece ser una necesidad imperiosa en nuestros dias? Que significado le otorga el comun de las personas? En este libro, el abad benedictino Christopher Jamison recurre a la sabiduria monastica para ofrecer respuestas y para explicar que, en esencia, la felicidad es un don, no un logro, el fruto de dar y recibir bendiciones. Todos buscan la felicidad, pero no todos saben como encontrarla. Cada vez hay mas personas que afirman que su vida es demasiado materialista y superficial, y que les causa insatisfaccion. Nuestra cultura consumista fomenta la creencia de que la felicidad proviene del placer, pero este libro desafia esta creencia y alienta otros enfoques acerca de la felicidad. El autor echa un vistazo a cada uno de los demonios que nos hacen desdichados. A medida que nos enfrentamos a las causas de nuestra desdicha, disfrutamos de la autentica alegria que es el verdadero significado de la felicidad. / Why is 'being happy' such an imperative nowadays?
