Celebrating Life: Finding Happiness in Unexpected Places

Celebrating Life: Finding Happiness in Unexpected Places by Sacks, Jonathan. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780826473370.

I have tried to say what happiness is, how we make it, how we lose it, and how we sometimes walk past it without recognising it. Happiness isnt somewhere else, its where we are. It isnt something we dont have, we do. It isnt fantasy, its reality experienced in a certain way. Happiness is a close relative of faithFollowing the painful loss of his father, Chief Rabbi Sacks began to learn how to celebrate life in a new way. He discovered where happiness lives, often in unexpected places, through family, community, friendship and responsibilities. He also found it through a renewed relationship with God who spoke to his deepest needs.Based, in part, on his columns in the UKs Times newspaper, Celebrating Life is for people of all faiths and none. It shows us how to be human and, in becoming so, how we can touch the divine.
