Description

This book is about happiness in life. We all want to find it, and that’s why we constantly ask ourselves: what is truly important under the sun? Why is life so bustling, tangled, and full of paradoxes? What makes it valuable, gives it meaning? Why do we live? These questions come to everyone’s mind—both in times of crisis and in the routine of everyday events. Using examples of real stories from the lives of very different people, the author—who has lived, in his own way, a truly remarkable life, rising to the dizzying heights of the political Olympus of the United States and then being cast down into valleys of sorrow, despair, and universal contempt—tries to find answers among this pile of painful questions: what is a happy life? “True happiness is not achieved through material comfort and satisfying our appetites. It is found by following the call of our highest nature, bringing life and its circumstances into alignment with our inner, deep structure.”
