Happiness is Enough

Happiness is Enough: Away From Excessive Living

by CK Ho

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Imagine a world where the shelves in the shops overflow, but the soul feels hollow. Where every desire is a song of siren, luring us deeper into the labyrinth of "wanting more." This is the landscape of our contemporary lives, a gilded cage of excess, where continuous chase of happiness, yet happiness seems perpetually out of reach.

This book, "Happiness is Enough: Away from Excessive Living," is not a manifesto for asceticism. It is an invitation to step off the treadmill of acquisition, to unmask the illusion of "excess" that keeps us chasing shadows. It is a journey through the psychology and philosophy of wanting, a quest for meaning and fulfilment that lies not in the accumulation of possessions, but in the depths of our own being.

Within these pages, we'll dissect the insidious roots of desire, planted by a culture that thrives on our insatiable hunger. We'll explore the consequences of our endless feast, the environmental toll, the social inequalities, the erosion of our inner peace. But this is not a tale of despair. It is a call to arms, a roadmap to reclaim our lives from the clutches of excess.

We'll learn the art of saying no, the power of gratitude, the joy of simple pleasures. We'll discover the transformative potential of giving, the strength in living with less, the wisdom in finding purpose beyond the material. And we'll delve into the philosophical and spiritual traditions that offer timeless insights into the true nature of happiness, a treasure found not in acquisition, but in contentment and connection.

This book is not just for you, but for all who yearn for a life of meaning, a life where "enough" is not a whisper on the wind, but a symphony in the soul. It is an invitation to join a movement, a ripple effect of conscious living that can transform not just our personal lives, but the very fabric of our world.

So, open the cover, dear reader, and step into a world where happiness is not a fleeting mirage, but a wellspring of joy waiting to be discovered, not within the next purchase, but within the present moment, within the depths of your own being.

Let the journey begin.
