Every human person seeks happiness, but few find it, because they have not discovered the source of all happiness: God. In Way to Happiness, Futon Sheen reflects on the most fundamental aspects of our lives: love, politics, motherhood, work, teens, forgiveness, rest, meditation, and more.
In a culture stricken with anxiety, boredom, despair, and fear, Sheen desires to reignite healing, hope, and contentment in the reader. While the secular world holds the mistaken belief that hunger for infinity can be satisfied by an infinity of material things, Sheen warns that they really wish for the infinity of divine love. Addressing the philosophy of pleasure, Sheen reminds the reader of the centrality of self-discipline and detachment.
At the heart of the Way to Happiness is heroically living out the spirit of charity: love of God and love of neighbor. To achieve a spirit of service and self-donation, a strong interior life is a perequisite. True peace is born in meditation.
Lastly, Sheen provides a blueprint to overcome bad habits through introspection, avoiding the occasion of sin, willing the good, and a right philosophy of life. In an age when so few people have time to make a retreat, allow the retreat master, Sheen, to take you on a spiritual journey that will spur you on to holiness. For anyone seeking a clear path to a happy and saintly life, the Way to Happiness will be your guide.

Many Good Things to Learn
I really liked the short chapters in this book that gives the reader bite-sized amounts of wisdom to take in. Archbishop Sheen has so much to say and I found it so relatable to our current times and climate. There is so much to absorb in this book that it will take more than one time reading to begin to take it all in which I love. Books that teach me something new with each reading are among my favorites! This book can be read cover to cover, or the reader can pick a short chapter to read. I did a little of both and appreciated so much the writings of this wise man who gave so much to the Church during his lifetime and even since his death. All things in the book point is to the one true source of happiness, Jesus. With various examples and stories, everyone will find something in this book that speaks to them. What a blessing to be able to read his writings. I look forward to reading other books in this set. Thank you to TAN Books for the copy of this book. All views are my honest opinion.
