THREE QUESTIONS TO PONDER
1. Finding a Self-Concept of Happiness
How you think about yourself is crucial to your happiness. What is the self-concept that yields happiness, protects against the misery of low self-esteem, and avoids self-centeredness?
2. Facing Stress with Patience, Mindfulness, and Hope
Stress is
an impediment to happiness. How can you rise above the everyday worries and frustrations, whether they are about the present or future, and retain your joie du vivre?
3. Learning the Art of Gratitude
Good fortune—wealth, beauty, genius, or power—don’t necessarily lead to more happiness. But is there a way to build joy from your good circumstances? How do you master the art of experiencing the goodness of
life?
