Thinking About "Happiness"

Melville House Publishing

One of our country's founding documents addresses our right to the pursuit of happiness. 

Notice it doesn't say we have a right to obtain and possess happiness. 

Much has been written and said about happiness through history, and now French philosopher Frederic Lenoir weighs in. 

With his Happiness: A Philosopher's Guide, Lenoir goes back in time for a history lesson, and up to the present day for thoughts on pursuit and possession. 

He joins us from France.
