The Invention of Happiness

Sebastian Dimsch is actually an employee at an insurance company. In truth, however, he is solely focused on how happiness can be found. He increasingly risks his job by doing nothing but collecting wisdom from Buddha, Plato, Confucius, and other great scholars. One day, the idea arises to have him design a happiness insurance policy – a crazy and inherently impossible task. Yet, Dimsch astonishes his superiors and himself.

A novel that is an amusing philosophical journey around the world. Instead of letting the anger of his boss and the daily grind at the insurance company drive him crazy, Sebastian Dimsch begins secretly reading the great philosophers in his office. He wants to discover how a person can become happy. Soon, he stops doing office work altogether.
