The Classic and Timeless Guide To Happiness Through Kindness
Chapter 9 Concluding Thoughts on Finding Happiness
“Happiness is the full use of your powers along the lines of excellence”- John F. Kennedy, after the Greeks
There is general agreement among leading experts on happiness that attaching yourself to something higher can lead to happiness. This clearly makes kindness and selflessness an important potential avenue for achieving personal happiness. For many, it can help produce an improved life. This is not to suggest that this is the only route to happiness. We all have different interests and strengths and what would be a pre-eminent factor in one’s life, may not play as important of a role in the lives of others. The main thing is to be true to yourself and to make your strengths an important part of what you do.
