Book Cover & Preview Text
Happiness is the eternal quest of man. From fleeting pleasures to deep and abiding joy; moments of intense emotion to boundless optimism, each one of us has his definition of happiness. While human beings do not necessarily share the same definition of happiness—the word is difficult to define—one thing we can agree on. We all thirst for happiness and wonder how to be happy. Is there a way to find happiness? Is there a path that can lead us to it unerringly? In this book, we will take a look at how happiness can be achieved. Is there a recipe for it? Psychologists, journalists, pastors, and many other professionals have researched and written about happiness. Their work shows that a life filled with love, faith, abundance, gratitude, selfless services, belief in God, devotion to the divine, a meaningful spirituality, a rewarding and meaningful work, etc. are sources of joy and happiness. First, we will look at how one can be happy at work. Honest work and services help men to keep their dignity and grow and mature in competences and wisdom. The quest for self-knowledge can start with a deep commitment to one’s life mission or work, and this will also be a great source of happiness. Whether you are a high performer, somebody who is merely looking for job satisfaction, or only someone who makes ends meet, this book will help you find happiness in whatever honest job you do.

About the Book
Happiness by Florine is a succinct analysis of the factors that can help make a person happy despite difficult situations or circumstances. This book doesn’t tell you what to do, it tells you how to do it. We often forget our roots while trying to survive in the rat race. We chase instant happiness through material possessions, the ideal job or spouse, a coveted promotion, or an exotic holiday. In the end, there is an emptiness that makes us search for new avenues for happiness. This book puts an end to our needless quest for nirvana. It reminds us that genuine love in its varied forms brings everlasting joy. It introduces us to the power of meditation and teachings of spiritual teachers. Excerpts from religious scriptures enlighten us on ways of attaining happiness from within.
About the Author
Florine is an alumnus of the University Pantheon Sorbonne in Paris, the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, and the Civil Service College in Sunningdale. Her fascinating journey as a daughter, friend, humanitarian director, and senior corporate trainer made her realise the extent of unhappiness in people’s lives. She believes that rather than being selfish, vengeful, and treating bad experiences, failures, even death, as broken crystal that can be easily replaced, there is another way forward for attaining happiness. This is her debut book.
