Happiness Is a Serious Problem: A
Human Nature Repair Manual by
Dennis Prager
Great If You Want To Be Happy !
In this unique blend of self-help and moral philosophy, talk-radio host
Dennis Prager asserts that were actually obligated to be happy, because it
makes us better people. Achieving that happiness wont 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 youre willing to put
some thought into achieving a happier outlook, you will find plenty to mull
over in Happiness Is a Serious Problem.

Personal Review: Happiness Is a Serious Problem: A Human
Nature Repair Manual by Dennis Prager
Current events make that happy mindset a bit harder to find. Dennis
Prager agrees that happy is not easy nor even necessarily fun to achieve.
His bestseller "Happiness is a Serious Problem" contains timeless wisdom;
it is no less relevant today than when it was published 10 years ago.
This "Human Nature Repair Manual" can be used in an aphorism-a-day
sort of way but has none of the saccharine qualities found in that sort of
self-help book. Prager himself notes "...the chapters of the book can be
read in any order. Each...is largely a self-contained unit." The advice
within is practical, spiritual but non-denominational, and written in the
same, sane, soothing voice that Prager brings to his radio show.
No sense paraphrasing that which works so well, so consider these bits of
wisdom as you contemplate whether or not to order this book:
"[T]he Buddhist teaching is of universal importance. If we understand
expectations to mean certitude that something will happen, that we can
take the good we have for granted...then expectations lead to
unhappiness....and undermine the most important source of happiness--
gratitude."
"...[I]deally, we should awaken every day and be as happy about our good
health as if we had just received the wonderful news that a [suspicious]
lump was diagnosed as benign."
Need a guidebook for gratitude? Seeking sufficiency in life? This is your
book.
