How much of your happiness depends on nature, how much on fate, how much on you? Brinton splits the question and pursues each part: our dependence on ourselves, on others, and on circumstances beyond anyone's reach. A scientist's studies and strowings on the aim of life. Happiness, apportioned honestly.

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.
