Summary

Why, since happiness is so universally sought after, are so many people so miserable? The answer can be found by unpacking the wisdom of two of history's intellectual giants who set out to answer the question that has confounded man from time immemorial: What makes us happy?

Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas existed sixteen centuries apart, yet each reached similar understandings about what makes a person happy. In this enlightening book, Dr. Charles Nemeth synthesizes the judgments of history's two greatest thinkers to present for you a life plan that inevitably leads to a happy human existence.

You will explore what it means to be happy and will come to understand the limitations of happiness. And you'll calibrate your compass so that you will be able to navigate your way into a state of life that makes you truly happy.

Moreover, you'll discover why happiness is obtained through action and not mere desire and why wealth and fame do not—and cannot—buy happiness.

With this Rosetta stone of a book, you will find solutions to fortify your soul and bring you peace. You will be equipped with a new sense of direction, hope, and healing that will guide you closer to lasting happiness.
