Happiness has been used as guide to the good life for thousands of
years. It can, however, just as easily lead us awry as direct us
towards a life well lived. We must learn to see happiness as
something more nuanced and differentiated. By doing so the target
we set up can bring us much more life satisfaction. This is not to
deny the importance of happiness, we just need to see our aim more
clearly. Many attempts to deal with the vast amount of
psychological pain that exists in the world today have been to look
at what causes distress. A new field of positive psychology has
emerged which then tries to look at the issue from the other end of
the telescope and look at what makes people happy. This book is an
attempt to understand happiness philosophically: what it is, how we
are responsible for it and what we can do to get more of it.
Happiness is our alarm to detect good. These alarms, though, are
often set to detect what is bad, so we don't even see what is good.
We also often see good as something we need to possess and control
to extract that feeling of happiness. We then expunge any feeling
of good. By changing how we view good, we can change our experience
of happiness to something more controllable and enduring.
