When it comes to happiness, everyone has a different sense and understanding. Happiness for some may derive from success, fame, or a long-loving marriage. To other people, happiness grows from their curiosity and exploration of the world.

Health, wealth, fame, honor, status... What are you pursuing in life? Do you prefer the hustle and bustle of the crowd, or do you crave solitude? How do you deal with it when fate and the vagaries of the world catch you off guard?

Are the answers to these questions universal? The book, The Wisdom of Life, presents a secular perspective on life’s downsides. It explores how people can achieve happiness in the face of the suffering that appears to be intrinsic to life.
