A collection of meditations and reflections on our relationship with things and with the world, and on how happiness can also be a matter of perspective.

Who doesn’t want happiness for him or herself, or for loved ones? Who hasn’t ever known a moment of happiness at least once in his or her life? This happiness we’re trying to grab hold of, taking photos and shooting home movies of every festive occasion, to share it all with friends, relatives and people close to us. And yet it’s ephemeral and fleeting – a rare chimera that makes us feel frustrated and depressed when we don’t experience it. And yet this book talks of possible and lasting happiness. A condition of greater freedom and emotional stability, of inner peace and total interrelation with the universe. The author tackles it by exploring those invisible and often subtle mechanisms with which we – we and nobody else – make things hard for ourselves by distancing ourselves from a natural condition that knows how to enjoy and rejoice in everything that fills life and makes it unique.
