Meaning of Happiness

In The Meaning of Happiness, philosopher Alan Watts addresses what true happiness is. Contrary to the traditional view of happiness as being something that we do or accomplish, Watts claims that happiness is the acceptance of every aspect of our lives regardless of the paradoxes, flaws, and irrationalities. This work draws on Western mysticism, Eastern philosophies, and analytic psychology to show the true meaning of happiness and how we can achieve it.
