Recovering the Lost Art of Contentment The biblical practice of contentment can seem like a lost art—something reserved for spiritual giants but out of reach for the rest of us. In our discontented age—characterized by impatience, overspending, grumbling, and unhappiness—it’s hard to imagine what true contentment actually looks (and feels) like. But even the apostle Paul said that he learned to be content in any and every circumstance. Paul’s remarkable contentment was something grown and developed over time. In Chasing Contentment, Erik Raymond helps us understand what biblical contentment is—the inward gracious spirit that joyfully rests in God’s providence—and then how we learn it. Giving us practical guidance for growing in contentment in various areas of our lives, this book will encourage us to see contentment as a priority for all believers. By God’s grace, it is possible to pursue the high calling of contentment and anchor our joy in God himself rather than our changing circumstances.

This thought-provoking book explores the concept of Happiness from various perspectives, drawing on ancient Greek, Chinese and Hindu thought, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, mythology, literature, arts, and Quantum physics. It offers an insighhtful exploration of the concept of Happiness through the lens of various civilisations, arts and sciences. The author proposes to look at many definitions of Happiness as they appear in ancient Greek philosophy, Chinese and Hindu thought, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and their respective mystical traditions. Then he examines the notion of Happiness in mythology and contemporary literature, primarily through the eyes of Lewis Carroll, then two opposing figures: Dostoevsky and Marquis de Sade. The first is as an immense moralist, a fine analyst of the human psyche, and a representative of orthodoxal Christianism, and the second, is an atheist libertine associated with the radical rationalist trend. Finally, the author also devoted a chapter to Happiness in the arts and reserved the last words to the scientific approach to Happiness, with a particular emphasis on Quantum physics.

Has anybody ever noticed the adage, "If you attempt to be happy your entire life, you will sure to fail?" Pursuing happiness can simply make people unhappy and dissatisfied, like a majority of other humans. The only distinction might be that individuals will appear to be content otherwise. One might be putting in a lot of effort to persuade oneself that he is truly happy. However, deep down, he is wailing in agony and faking happiness. It's not how one should enjoy one’s life. One must wholeheartedly accept all situations if he/she wishes to lead a happy life. People need to allow themselves to enjoy every great moment, including the negative ones. Chasing happiness is nothing more than an attempt to filter out the negative facets of life, and it is impossible to maintain this honest effort. Instead of avoiding discomfort, one may turn it into an opportunity to learn and grow.
