Die Kunst, glücklich zu sein

What one has for oneself, what accompanies one into solitude, and what no one can give or take away: this is much more essential than everything one possesses or what one is in the eyes of others. Arthur Schopenhauer's little handbook "The Art of Being Happy" is a true gem that remained unpublished for over 150 years. The fifty life rules it contains can be found in various volumes and collections of his estate. Franco Volpi has reconstructed the life rules according to Schopenhauer's own plan and published them for the first time.
