Riassunto

This is a collection of short meditations on happiness which began with the ‘Credo’ columns written for The Times.

‘In these meditations, I’ve tried to say what happiness is, how we make it, how we lose it, and how we sometimes walk past it without recognising it. We miss it by looking in the wrong places. In consuming, as if it were something we could buy. In leisure, as if it were somewhere we could escape. In changes of relationship and lifestyle, as if it were just over the horizon. It isn’t somewhere else; it’s where we are.’
Rabbi Jonathan Sacks

This is a delightful collection of short pieces reflecting on life, families, children, community, faith, friendship and hope. Rabbi Jonathan Sacks has rewritten his original ‘Credo’ articles and made them the starting point for this new book.

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Jonathan Sacks became Chief Rabbi in 1991. He is much sought after as a religious broadcaster and spokesman.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

''I've tried to say what happiness is, how we make it, how we lose it, and how we walk past it without recognising it. Happiness isn't somewhere else; it's where we are. It isn't something we don't yet have, we do. It isn't fantasy, it's reality experienced in a certain way. Happiness is a close relative of faith.''

Following the painful loss of his father, Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks began to learn how to celebrate life in a new way. He discovered where happiness lives, often in unexpected places, through family, community, friendship and responsibilities. He also found it through a more honest relationship with God who speaks to our deepest needs.

Drawn in part from his columns in 'The Times' newspaper, 'Celebrating Life' is for people of all faiths and none. It shows us how to be more human and, in becoming so, how we can touch the divine.
