This book is on the philosophy and psychology of happiness. The author traces the shifting meanings of the term from the Greeks, who understood happiness as flourishing to the twenty-first century, which views it as subjective satisfaction. The book proceeds historically from Aristotle to Viktor Frankl. The author argues that we should not aim for happiness; rather, happiness should be let happen; it is a by-product of meaning and Dr. Costello anchors his thesis in Frankl s tri-dimensional ontology, delineating the differences between pleasure, happiness and joy.
