Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
Happiness Is a Serious Problem
Dennis Prager · 2009
71/100
👍 Worth It
Prager treats happiness as a duty, not a mood, and he backs it with real moral seriousness about suffering, gratitude, and faith. It reads more like a bracing conversation with a sharp, opinionated friend than a typical self-help book. Worth it if you want your gratitude challenged instead of coddled — just know it comes with his particular theological lens.
