THE BOOK


The Mechanics of Happiness – Engineering a Positive Approach to Your Life is a journey of discovery, an oasis in the desert for those who are looking for new ways to understand their life. Happiness is the by-product of a life well lived and a prize high on most people’s agenda. Peter Levine asks us, how are we to live in order to live the genuinely Good Life?

By revealing  secrets and mysteries previously known only to a select few and offering practical insight, the reader is guided through a garden filled with perceptions. A garden whose fruits are the power contained within core understandings of those universal principles that shape our lives.

We live in times of huge change; an age where new solutions to the challenges that face us are needed. For any right thinking man or woman there are questions that demand our attention, issues that are guaranteed to recur throughout our lives. Who am I? What is the meaning of life? What is my purpose? What certainties can I rely upon?

The Mechanics of Happiness dissects these questions carefully, with sensitivity and renders them in a simple but not simplistic way. For the experienced traveller the view will be like meeting an old friend, fresh from their adventures with new tales to tell. For those to whom these big issues are recent additions in their cognitive journey, this will be a magical series of revelations.

The quest for meaning, understanding and enlightenment is core to our experience; happiness and well-being among  its benefits . Whether engaged with formally or informally, the urge to improve is something that defines human nature:  we all want to be better. By uncovering hidden knowledge for you, knowledge that has inspired the greatest minds and the most profound discoveries in the odyssey that is the human journey, you are invited to take your place and participate in the most remarkable adventure.

Once you have read The Mechanics of Happiness, you will never look at things in the same way again. The journey undertaken by Peter Levine over many years saves you time and effort as he explains in concise and practical terms the basic considerations that face each one of us. In this way the reader benefits from a much clearer perspective from which to assess their own position. The Mechanics of Happiness is a gift to those seeking guidance, inspiration, and the knowledge that they are not alone. For the casual reader it represents a cascade of ideas that will add to their understanding and awareness.
