Happiness Is a Serious Problem: A Human Nature Repair Manual

Prager's books always read so easily, very clear cut book with real substance. Can't recommend enough.

This is one of those books that, as you are reading it, you realize you are getting wiser as you finish every chapter. One chapter, in particular, that had a huge impact on me is about the difference between fun and happiness. As the author says, a proper understanding of fun is one of life’s most liberating and powerful discoveries. It liberates our time—now we can spend less time on fun that doesn’t make us happy.Highly recommended.

Wonderful book packaged with abundant tidbits of wisdom. It’s main argument, that happiness is our own responsibility awakened for the fact that as mature adults we should be proactive creating the conditions for happiness for ourselves and potentially for others. It’s ok to be dependent on conditional love from our parents when we are children but I imature in our adulthood we’re we should strike to be a source of wisdom and not a drag on society. Highly recommend this book to anyone in this world who wants to be a light of wisdom amongst our fellow humans.

This is a really easy read and I have the audible. This book I have bought more copies for friends and family, I was so impressed with the author and what he writes about.

Dennis Prager thinks more clearly and conveys it with more clarity than any media, political or educational figure I've ever come across. I began referring to him as my "electronic Mentor."I've recommended his work to many others. Like most of us, once you read one of his books, you'll want to read the others, find his radio show, website, and whatever else he offers. After attending one of his seminars, many years ago, I bought every audio album he had. Since then, every book.He spent many years working on his happiness book. I trust he remained happy, even as he agonized over what to put inside of it. It worked brilliantly. This is a book that anyone who cares about living a life fulfilled should read themselves, and with their loved ones, including teenagers.When he shows us that happiness can be willed or just allowed (my words not his) you can find ways to move from stress to relief. From anger to gratitude, and of course, from unhappiness to happiness.As is his style, this book clearly communicates how we can have a better, happier life from the inside out. Go buy this book now. Thank Dennis later. I have.Tom Justin[...]

Dennis Prager makes you realize that being happy doesn’t really come naturally for most of us and that it is a state of mind that has to be cultivated and takes effort. He makes one realize that being happy is a moral obligation.

This is a great choice on happiness. The author explains through examples many aspects of happiness (spiritual, psychological, material, etc.) and can help the reader how to be happier. If anyone close to you is not happy, suggest them this book. You won't regret it.

A timeless piece that will help you achieve more happiness in your life! Worth reading it even if you are already a “happy person”. Prager has a gift and a great mind. I’m grateful he is dedicated to sharing it and make the world a better place. A humble very decent human being that brings much needed joy to the ones that cross path with him.

Really good book, must read for everyone

This is a book full of life changing wisdom. As one who suffers chronic depression, these lessons have enabled me to have happiness. Not something I ever could have imagined.

It is one of those timeless books that everyone will benifit from. It will teach you and challenge you. It will make you work for your happiness.

Well written! Concised and straight to the point. Easy to read. I recommend to everybody. We just have to put into practice.

Wise, thought provoking, relatable, funny - it was an immensely pleasurable and illuminating read.Dennis is a great writer and this is my favorite book of his, closely followed by Think Second Time.Thank you Mr Prager for sharing your gifts!
