Книгата ми я препоръча една приятелка, иначе никога нямаше да прочета подобна книга - прекалено много прилича на селф-хелп бозите, които наводняват книжния пазар, които ги четат главно празноглави патки и в тях пише неща като духовно извисяване и други цитати от дийпак чопра или генератора на случайни негови фрази (не можах да схвана разликата, ама май и почитателите на чопра не успяват: http://www.wisdomofchopra.com/ хехе).

Книгата е кратка и описаното в нея точно кореспондира с моите впечатления за това какви са проблемите на другите хора със щастието и какви проблеми ми липсват на мен, поради което съм щастлив. Не знам защо, но като се питаме един друг задължителното "Как си?", не съм срещал друг човек освен себе си, който да каже че е супер. Даже като го кажа, и ме гледат като треснати някои хора... толкова са свикнали всичко на всички да не им е наред...

Основната теза на книгата, въплътена не твърде хитро в заглавието й е, че за да си щастлив се изисква да поработиш по въпроса, а не да чакаш щастието да ти падне отгоре. Да работиш за дългосрочните си цели, да се стараеш да се срещаш с хора, които те ощасливяват и да избягваш активно такива, които те теглят в обратната посока (това особено важи за роднини) и т.н.

Особено в България - най-нещастната страна на света според изследванията всяка година - е добре тая книга да се прочете.

Чак после забелязах, че автор на книгата е Денис Пегър, известният консервативен радиоводещ :)

Excellent basic book to learn about Judaism. Prager and Telushkin, childhood friends collaborated on this book over 40 years ago. It still stands as an excellent resource. Not only did I learn facts about being Jewish, I learned truth about how to think about life itself and how to think about transmitting your own values to the next generation.

Prager has a fresh perspective on the Bible that comes through frequently. His scholarship goes to different sources than I have access to and thus he brings both his Jewish perspective and his wide reading and thought out to the light of day. I am always benefited by reading or hearing from him. He always has a valuable contribution to give.

Excellent book. As other reviewers have commented, this is a sharp, rational, and precise critique of leftism, its inherent flaws, and the danger it poses to the American way of life.

Unfortunately, the very individuals who need to read and understand this book are the most likely to dismiss it out-of-hand
