If you have ever wondered whether lasting happiness is actually possible, or felt quietly guilty for wanting it, this book will challenge everything you thought you knew about the subject.
Happiness breaks the mold of the typical self-help category by grounding the pursuit of joy in a Christian perspective and challenging the misconception that happiness revolves around fleeting pleasure or shallow emotion.
Randy Alcorn makes the case that genuine, enduring happiness is not at odds with faith but is in fact deeply rooted in it, and that understanding God’s view on happiness changes everything about how you pursue it.
In its pages, you will find:
- A deeper understanding of what happiness actually is, where it comes from, and why so many people spend their lives chasing a version of it that never satisfies.
- How gratitude, practiced with intention and rooted in faith, becomes one of the most reliable paths to a joy that does not depend on circumstances.
- Why meaningful relationships are not just a byproduct of a happy life but one of its most essential foundations.
- What it looks like to live with genuine purpose, and how aligning your life with God’s design reorients everything else around it.
Whether you come to this book from a place of faith or simple curiosity, it will leave you with a richer and more honest understanding of what joy actually requires.
