Happiness & Heroism: The School of Being, the School of Doing: HAPPINESS & HEROISM - The School of Being, The School of Doing: Letter 1 The School of Being (Hardcover)

Do you wake up every day with a sense of purpose, inner-peace, and knowledge that you are living your very best life? Most people believe "success" has to do with one's wealth or accomplishments. Not so, says author and father YPR, who explains to his three children that it is not what you achieve in life, rather how you live your life that determines your ultimate success. Your emotional state and the noble actions you choose to take each day are at the very basis of your success as a human being. The ideal state of emotional fulfillment is what YPR refers to as Happiness. The ideal form of noble day-to-day action is what he calls Heroism.

​

Happiness & Heroism: The School of Being, The School of Doing 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 book 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 book in the series (not yet released), 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.

In a personal letter to YPR, legendary writer and humorist Kurt Vonnegut wrote, "Dear YPR, 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."
