The Beauty Of Being Selfish

Over-intrusive governments, religious fanatics, and cultural elitists argue that universal moral laws create a specific, prescribed path to obtaining happiness. Daniel S. Ison exposes the groundless, unsubstantiated assumptions employed by these groups to unnecessarily limit the personal freedom of choice. Conceiving of many potential roads to and sources of happiness, Ison advocates focused self-awareness as a method to liberate individuals from the cycle of sacrifice, self-contempt, and depression that stifles the personal pursuit of happiness. Through self-analysis, self-interest, and exploration, an awakened individual learns how to answer life's most important question: "What makes me happy?" Discussing issues ranging from marriage to foreign policy, this book provides fascinating insight into the individual pursuit of happiness.
