Includes a brand new introduction to offer help during a pandemic
Why is 'being happy' such an imperative nowadays? What meaning do people give to happiness?
In this book Abbot Christopher turns to monastic wisdom to offer answers, and to explain that in essence, happiness is a gift, not an achievement, the fruit of giving and receiving blessings.
Abbot Christopher takes different aspects of happiness, examines them, tells us what monastic wisdom has to say about them, and offers us steps towards our own journey to finding happiness.
