The Wild Longing of the Human Heart | Free Book
The Search for Happiness and Something More
The search for happiness has been an enduring quest for us all. The
greatest minds from history--Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, Rousseau,
Kant, Mill, Gandhi, Einstein and many others—all confirm that
happiness is the one thing we all crave after. The Wild Longing of the
Human Heart is divided into two parts. Part one examines the brief
history of happiness which has not always meant exactly the same thing
to all cultures and individuals, and then moves on to summarize the
latest information from the areas of brain science as well as the
field of positive psychology. Part two proposes that it is not
happiness (in the psycho-physiological sense of something like
tranquility) which is the true goal of human living. Rather, the true
goal of the “wild longing” is a meaningful life, guided by the search
for truth, beauty and goodness.
