HAPPINESS. We want it. Yet it seems elusive, with many people in bad relationships, suffering from depression, substance abuse, and economic hardship.
Our declining culture and corrupt institutions add to the malaise.
To solve these problems we have to think. Yet throughout history both happiness and thinking have been poorly understood.
Unresolved issues about the nature of the thinking process and happiness have prevented people from thinking effectively and being happy.
These issues include the difference between satisfaction and happiness, the problem of universals (i.e., why the little snake and the big snake are both snakes, despite their obvious differences), and the problem of induction (how generalizations can ever be trusted when new evidence can always potentially disqualify them).With over a quarter century of experience in philosophy and law, Gray Seele resolves these issues to make success and happiness accessible like never before.
