Reader comments
This book is very good! Many of the ideas mentioned by the author are very practical, such as the definition of happiness and how to improve happiness. I especially liked the parts about family and work in the book, which gave me a lot of inspiration. However, I don't really like the part about love in the book, it feels a bit complicated. Overall, this is a book worth reading and recommended to you!
" A man with a great soul is open-minded and allows the wind of the universe to stir freely. He will see himself, life and the world as clearly as possible, and he will realize that the human mind is the most valuable thing in the universe. He will realize that in a sense, the world a person can see is how big he is. Freed from the fear of being enslaved by the environment, he will feel profound happiness, and no matter how vicissitudes of life, he will always be a happy person deep down. "
Happiness and unhappiness are determined by people's concepts and whether they have a wide range of interests and hobbies. In our long and short life, we will encounter many dissatisfactions and even dilemmas, and our concepts and interests will determine our choices. I hope that all readers will never give up on the goal of having a happy and beautiful life, and keep moving forward for it!
Look at yourself with deep feeling

Although it was written decades ago, it is very relevant to today's times.
