About this series
Happiness and Heroism is a two-book series consisting of two letters from a father to his children that impart lessons on loving life and walking a noble path. The first letter in the series, The School of Being, teaches the philosophy of the fundamental goodness of existence; mindfulness of true reality; humanity’s innate tendencies to feel stress, fear, anger, boredom, and depression—and the antidote. The second letter in the series, The School of Doing, teaches how and why to choose one’s actions with purpose, thoughtfulness, and based upon principles that can be continually refined as wisdom is amassed throughout one’s lifetime.
Many years ago, the author wrote a letter to legendary writer Kurt Vonnegut on the very same subject matter, to which Mr. Vonnegut replied, “Dear Y.P.R., The toughest part of my job is dealing with people who write better and think more clearly that I do. You may already know that Nietzsche said that only people of deep faith can afford the luxury of skepticism. This could explain your aplomb and mine in the midst of moral chaos.”
