Zen and the Art of Happiness by Chris Prentiss
4.0
There is usefulness here. I'm going to be thinking about this book and working to integrate things from it. Really 3.5 stars is more accurate.
There are also parts of this that concern me. For instance I think it is important that we be troubled by bad things happening in the world that we can contribute to changing. If we just smile at it and say it's happening for our benefit or it's not our concern because it's not happening to us -- I think that's pretty awful. As other reviewers have pointed out, there are aspects of this book that seem very primed towards people who live comfortably but are still unhappy.
