A Swiss jurist wrote some of the era's wisest essays on being happy, and Europe read him by the hundred thousand. Hilty covers the art of work, fighting the battles of life, good habits, the art of having time, and the meaning of life itself. Practical, humane, and quietly profound. Happiness treated as a skill you can actually practice.

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.
