Who does not want to be HAPPY ?

 

I must have read this book a very long time ago. As a guide to what we call HAPPINESS it has stood the test of time. British philosopher Bertrand Russell professed to be anti Christian but nevertheless I think he had a religious soul. By the way , so did his daughter. Like the Roman philosopher Seneca his great wisdom may have been marred by hypocrisy more familiar to his intimates. But isn't that true of all of us? Is there any human soul that does not ask: HOW CAN I BE HAPPY?
