Can Books Make Us Happy?

Wealth is not happiness.

Power is not happiness.

Food is not happiness.

Sex is not happiness.

Nature is not happiness.

Travel is not happiness.

Freedom is not happiness.

And no, reading books is not happiness.

Happiness is happiness.

Until tomorrow, read slowly – take notes – and apply the ideas.
