What is happiness? The author Anneliese Gaentzsch approaches this big question in a way that is both entertaining and practical: happiness is not the overwhelming feeling that everything has changed; rather, it is the ability to make the most of each day, quite literally. Through a series of spotlight observations, short, pointed narratives, and aphoristic remarks, a picture emerges of the small things and moments in life that, initially unnoticed, collectively constitute happiness. And of all those things that continuously promise great happiness in the modern world, but actually stand in its way. Original edition.
