The guide to happiness

A shining classic to (re)discover: The Guide to Happiness gathers reflections, maxims, and uplifting stories to chart a simple yet demanding path toward a more fulfilled life. Balancing practical wisdom and spiritual elevation, Benjamin Delessert offers benevolent guidance that speaks as much to the heart as to reason. Within these pages are concrete counsels on moderation, order, economy, work, and study, alongside powerful reflections on conscience, justice, charity, friendship, forgiveness, and hope. True stories, at times moving or unsettling, embody virtue in the face of trials and reveal how each day can be transformed into quiet progress. Read with clarity and warmth, this text becomes a daily breath of life: just a few pages are enough to soothe, refocus, and inspire right action. For anyone seeking a moral compass without asceticism, an art of living that unites gentleness and strength, this book is an inexhaustible source of courage, inner peace, and humble joy.
