Reflections

 

This section contains some of my contemplations related to the Philosophy of Happiness. They are precursors, companions, and afterthoughts of various length and form.

 

The single essays can be read and listened to by clicking on the titles below. All of them together are also available as a free-of-charge PDF e-book titled Philosophic Reflections (43 pages) here.

I am publishing these because they might help readers relate to my inspirations in developing a philosophy of happiness, might illustrate some of its concepts and results, and might encourage readers to search out and give voice to their own reflections about happiness.
