There is a movement afoot these days, fired by the increasing speed and complexity of modern lives, that reflects a cultural yearning for some kind of voluntary simplicity.

Living simply does not translate to being poor, but rather, making the wisest and most efficient use of time and resources to live a richer, more satisfying life, lower the stress in your life and your family's, and allow your time and money and energy to work for you instead of the reverse.

Happiness Is a Serious Problem : A Human Nature Repair Manual
by Dennis Prager
Buy it online: Amazon.com |

In this unique blend of self-help and moral philosophy, talk-radio host Dennis Prager asserts that we're actually obligated to be happy, because it makes us better people. Achieving that happiness won't be easy, though: to Prager, it requires a continuing process of counting your blessings and giving up any expectations that life is supposed to be wonderful. "Can we decide to be satisfied with what we have?" he asks. "A poor man who can make himself satisfied with his portion will be happier than a wealthy man who does not allow himself to be satisfied." Prager echoes many conservative political commentators in complaining that too many people today see themselves as victims; he submits that the only way to achieve your desires is to take responsibility for your life rather than blaming others. Whether or not you agree with that view, if you're willing to put some thought into achieving a happier outlook, you will find plenty to mull over in Happiness Is a Serious Problem.
