What is “happiness” actually? When the majority of people think of it, they think of extraordinary things and special moments in life: finding your true love, the dream job or financial independence. But if we just concentrate on finding large scale happiness, we run the risk of missing the small moments of happiness in everyday life: a beautiful sunrise, a neighbour’s kind words, a butterfly which surprises us with its lightness of being, or the good friends that we are lucky to know. “Happiness can be found everywhere. We just have to open our eyes to rediscover it again.” Rainer Haak is convinced of it. That is why he gives the reader 77 prompts to happiness: cheerful, moving and also reflective stories, poems, fairy tales and accounts, which help to discover the richness of life.
