My reaction (the summary of my reading)

The author clarified  that the relationship between happiness and success is mutual in different  ways like when it comes to  love and work.  Happiness  controls success. For example, people who are happy have  good relationships, and are very enthusiastic in their work. The author explained  The meaning of happiness to be  the experience of pleasure.

My Reaction 7

Today I began to read chapter 3 on happiness book. The most striking quote that I read today is  that  "the great end of all human industry is the attainment of happiness. For this were arts invented, sciences cultivated, laws ordained, and societies modeled." (Page32, the British Philosopher David Hume argues that). The interesting things for me in   this quote is that the importance of  the human being that everything is assuring his or her happiness.

My emotions about what is Happeniness


My emotions about what I read in “What is Happiness?”

           I am almost done with chapter two in what is Happiness, I reached  the   Happiness Archetype. In the  Happiness Archetype that I read on Monday I really like happiness point, it taught me   to be happy in  the present and future. If people want to be happy, they should accept  the difficulties that they faced. This part of the happiness Archetype  influenced me a lot. Thinking  about how  to be happy in present and future  and don’t think just about the present. For example, I came from my country to study English to find a good work in  the future, I feel exhausted and tired when  I am  studying but it  will be a benefit to me in the future. I am so happy to understand the part  of the book that I read.
