The book was born from an interest in what makes people happy. This is a universal question and was born from trying to explore what makes me happy. It was also born from a frustration with what has been conventionally offered. My personal search for happiness had been through conventional spiritual routes but I was finding many of these less meaningful over time. It seemed to me that the search for happiness was what my search was about. This book has been as much a personal voyage of discovery about the nature of happiness and the consequences of my reflections on the subject matter.
