HAPPINESS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM by Dennis Prager (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

“Astonishing....Anyone who feels unhappy more than he would like will benefit from reading this book.” (Wall Street Journal)

Lecturer, theologian, philosopher, and radio personality Dennis Prager ruminates on happiness and why it is so difficult for most of us to achieve. Though human nature is insatiable and tends to equate happiness with success or fun, Prager contends that it is achievable through self-control and acceptance.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s Earphones®-winning narrator, Frederick Davidson. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

“Prager’s latest book challenges readers to realize that they—not any outside force—are the greatest obstacle to happiness.” (Los Angeles Times)

When you ask people about their most cherished values in life, "happiness" is always at the top of the list. But surprisingly few people claim real happiness. We seem to be completely satisfied with nothing, and indeed, there is little correlation between the circumstances of people's lives and how happy they are. In this book, lecturer, theologian, philosopher, and Los Angeles radio personality Dennis Prager ruminates on what makes happiness such a serious problem to solve. He discusses the difference between happiness and success and between happiness and fun and how to adjust our expectations of life.
