Happiness obeys laws, physical, organic, and moral, and Droz writes letters explaining each one. The French Academy elected him, and these pages show why: a course on tranquility of mind, the management of our desires, and the daily architecture of contentment. France's favorite guide to feeling better, from the age after Napoleon. Old advice that reads like new research.

Includes read-aloud narration with live word highlighting.
