Written by a local author! Accessibly written with a lot of great information--about positive psychology, economic and social constructs, happiness skills, and more--all condensed into easily digestible essays, or what were originally sermons. Sassaman's voice is kind and gentle, and this book makes me want to be that way too! I think everyone should read this book, so we can be the change we want to see in the world. So necessary for these dark times.

Inviting and accessible, with easy-to-read personal stories interwoven with research and expertise, it is full of helpful, and hopeful, information for those seeking to make the changes necessary to live a full and happy life, and, to create a just and joyful world.
