At this time, the loudest voices among us are dystopian, and spoken language is losing all civility. If you want a change from this, \u003ci\u003ePursuits of Happiness\u003c\/i\u003e is a good place to start. Here's a fascinating, independent-minded writer whose words connect us to living more fully toward a more beneficial life -- thought-forms as catalysts.--\u003ci\u003eWashington Independent Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The essays of \u003ci\u003ePursuits of Happiness\u003c\/i\u003e are articulations of Eva Brann's \"vocational\" happiness of thinking things through. To Ms. Brann our inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness is the right not to an \"endless chase,\" but rather the right to the actual practice of happiness, as in the \"pursuit of a vocation.\" With essays like \"Tips on Reading Homer\" and \"The Greatness of Great Books\" she keeps at her calling: to understand the world around us, and between us, to listen to our inner self-talk, and to consider what comes, perhaps, from beyond us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-2319028\"\u003eEva Brann\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Dry Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 612\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781589881471\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1589881478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PHI\"\u003ePhilosophy\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PHI035000\"\u003eEssays\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PHI\"\u003ePhilosophy\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PHI013000\"\u003eMetaphysics\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEva Brann is a member of the senior faculty at St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland, where she has taught for sixty-one years.
