Happiness | Free Book
Fortune, Success and the Human Spirit
What is true happiness? This perennial question preoccupies many
experts, including biologists, psychologists, sociologists and
theologians, but their findings usually confirm what we already knew:
that happiness is one of the most sought-after but elusive
commodities.Rudolf Steiner's liberating view of happiness opens up new
vistas and perspectives. Happiness, he says, depends on the human
spirit, whose continuing evolution draws sustenance from the totality
of life's experiences. We develop and learn in equal measure from both
good fortune and misfortune, success and disappointment. Steiner urges
inner equilibrium, emphasizing the transience of outward happiness.
Inward happiness, however, can never be taken from us, depending as it
does on, '…whatever we ourselves make of our outward fortunes'.This
rich and inspiring booklet gathers all Rudolf Steiner's statements on
the theme and features two complete lectures on happiness and
spiritual knowledge. It also includes an insightful introductory essay
by Daniel Baumgartner.
