Madan Arora Ph. D.

Happiness Comes from Small Things (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers a few simple ideas to be always happy. Does happiness require wealth, material objects-big houses, expensive and fancy cars, expensive diamonds and jewelry-big bank balance, awards and recognitions, and a large, highly recognized social circle of friends and acquaintances? No, the author believes. Quite to the contrary, happiness-in fact, lasting happiness-comes from simple things of life: a good family life, leisurely time spent with family and friends, having time to smell the roses and watch the sunset, doing everyday chores with full interest and dedication, and just by simple everyday living. While big, materialistic objects are transient, simple things are always there, waiting for us to be seen, touched, and enjoyed.

This book is timely as we seem to be complicating our lives and, by doing so, feeling stressed and unhappy by wishing more and more than what we really need.

Autorenporträt

Madan Arora, PhD, comes from a humble background. He was born in Pakistan-which was part of India at the time of his birth, in a small town of about ten thousand-to a relatively uneducated but very loving family consisting of a grandfather, parents, and four brothers, one of whom was married. To escape religious persecution (half the population of the town was butchered by religious fanatics a week earlier), Madan's family of nine fled to a small town in what now is present-day India. Before settling down in this town, his family spent about two years leading, more or less, a nomadic life in three village-size towns, living in one- or two-room mud houses, with no indoor plumbing and sanitation facilities at each of these places. He got his education up to a BS in civil engineering from Punjab University in India and decided to migrate to the United States in 1966 to pursue higher education in environmental engineering. But this is not the background that inspired Dr. Arora to write this book. It is the loving family he comes from, great teachers in schools and colleges he attended in India and the US and their dedication to work, and the values his family and parents taught him by example-hard work, honest living, and love-that prompted him to undertake this effort.
