Describing happiness as determined by five interacting processes--biologies, perspectives, relationships, environments, and spiritual quests--Happiness Is. focuses especially upon the importance of the quest and its rules inside the human matrix. A thoughtful and inspirational exploration of processes used to find meaning and bring joy to one's life.
