The Art of Being Happy
Joseph Droz and Timothy Flint
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.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
