Reviews
"This book is a wake-up alarm! Elenchin has eloquently pointed out how the current societal 'norms' are anything but normal, and moreover, contradictory to our well-being let alone our inherent purpose to love and give, not acquire and use. Education, wealth, and progress give no free pass to a virtuous, happy life. Easy to read, necessary to read. Don't press snooze." --Bradley F. Giannotti, MD, FACS " Happy Without the Meal absorbs the realism of social overconsumption. Driving the reader to pure essence, the reader will be left pondering whether to live the 'good life' or the 'goods life.' Simple yet complex, conceptual, and practical, Happy Without the Meal l is a welcoming reminder about the uncomplicated possessions life has to offer!" --Erin E. Kopecki, St. Bonaventure University Graduate
Synopsis
Perhaps without realizing it, we now find ourselves living in a unique time compared to all of human history. No generation has ever had such an abundance of material goods at their fingertips. Food, transportation, communication, and all kinds of entertainment flood a saturated marketplace, every one promising to make us ""happy."" Yet in the midst of such plenty many people are experiencing distress and a growing sense of sadness--in spite of all their possessions. Material and technological progress is a great thing, but one that has had the unintended consequence of being confused with human progress. The pursuit of the ""goods life"" has been confused with seeking a good life. Fortunately, wisdom gleaned from both faith and the social sciences points toward the same true north regarding principles that lead to a life of well-being. Happy Without the Meal is for all who are interesting in understanding the historical, educational, and marketing forces that have lead to the cultural confusion over what makes for a happy life, and for all who want to rediscover the nature of simple ways of living flourishing lives., About the Contributor(s): William J.

- r***t (12)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI would like to thank the seller for being so kind during the entirety of my purchase, and for the excellent shipping speed. For starters, they extended a warm message to me regarding my purchase, and how they (the seller) had just been returning from a vacation, stating that my ordered product would be shipped ASAP, which was incredibly kind! Shipping speed was incredibly swift, and I wouldn't have known either way. I definitely look forward to buying again from here, thanks!
