The Thoughts of We

The End of Happiness is an eponymous book written by Daniel Kahneman. The book explores the ways in which we can achieve happiness. The author studied the way we remember events in our lives over time. He looked at how our memories change from emotional outbursts to family gatherings. The results were startling. This enlightening read will make you question the meaning of happiness. In fact, it’s hard to imagine a better book on the subject.

The Greek philosopher Democritus wrote “Goodbye happiness!” in a Psychology Today article. In fact, Van Nuys is actually saying goodbye to hedonism. No positive psychologist has ever associated happiness with hedonism. Moreover, this view is contrary to the view of the current scientific literature on the nature of happiness. It is important to understand that the end of happiness does not have to be a sad ending.

The philosophy of happiness owes its name to Aristotle. He viewed happiness as the perfection of human nature and an enrichment of human life. In other words, happiness is a choice that requires strong willpower. The more difficult choice is to decide whether to choose the lesser or the greater good. After all, the lesser good promises instant pleasure, while the greater good requires sacrifice. By focusing on the bigger picture, we can be sure that we are pursuing happiness.
