The art of the good life

Viac o knihe

Since antiquity, the quest for a good life has prompted timeless questions: How should I live? What defines a good life? What roles do fate and money play? Is a good life about mindset or achieving goals? Should we pursue happiness actively or focus on avoiding unhappiness? Each generation grapples with these inquiries, often finding the answers disappointing, as we seek a singular principle or rule for happiness. However, such a simple path does not exist. Rolf Dobelli, a successful businessman and author, has dedicated himself to uncovering shortcuts to happiness. In his follow-up to the bestseller The Art of Thinking Clearly, he synthesizes insights from leading thinkers and contemporary science to offer practical strategies for satisfaction. This work serves as a toolkit for living, presenting fifty-two happiness hacks—ranging from guilt-free technology avoidance to joyfully paying parking tickets. While these tips may not guarantee a good life, they enhance your chances of achieving greater happiness, which is all we can truly aspire to.
