Each little chapter is a profile of some way some one finds personal happiness. At the end, the maestro suggests that if you have recognized yourself in one of the categories, and your method might not be working for you as well as it should, that you riffle back through the book and borrow some methods that other people use and apply them to your life. Dr. Morris, bless his heart, never judges and he is such good company.
transient happiness
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
The author does give excellent brief reviews of the ways of acheiving happiness, but the reader should remember he is defining happiness as a relatively transient feeling of joy. He is not talking about a meaningful life and a more profound view of lasting happiness. He is actually very skeptical about even the possibility of lasting happiness.
Quick, enjoyable read

Morris is one of my favorite authors because he provides such intelligent insights into human behavior. This book was no different. The Nature of Happiness is a small book (about a 2 hour read or so). However, as a biologist specializing in mammalian behavior, Morris does not use psycho-bable in this book. Rather, he gives practical information that one can use to find more happiness.
