Happiness index

Book title: Happiness Index Author: David Mashadudar Publisher: Arab Cultural Center Number of pages: 336 About the book: What is the happiness index? I asked him. - It is not very important statistics, as long as it lacks objectivity, he replied, but it is the best we have. In fact, it depends on a survey that includes one question: "On a scale from 0 to 10, how satisfied are you with your life overall?" He took a breath from his cigar, then added: - I think most people answer the survey lightly, because most of them don't understand much about happiness. * * * Starting with the title, happiness occupies a central place in this wonderful novel that won the European Union Literature Prize, and it has been translated into several world languages and recently adapted into a film. Where do we place ourselves on a scale from 0 to 10 amid the fluctuations of life that shape a person's happiness or misery? This beautiful work prompts us to ask this question along with many others about what truly makes us happy and how we perceive this sought-after happiness, despite the harshness of our era and the indifference in human relationships. Values of solidarity, help, love, and compassion for others are repeatedly emphasized in this intelligent novel, which overflows with wisdom, tenderness, and inspiration. An impactful novel that instills in us the spirit of perseverance and hope.
