Hi,
Just my luck that I am here 10 minutes before the library closes for winter break.
Have two books here in my bag - one on happyness and the other on pleasure. Both gifted to me -- the one on Happyness "The pursuit of Happyness" gifted by mail thru Amazon.com this Monday by the Pouya Iranian refugee medical student husband from Vancouver, Canada -and I finsihed the book today morning at 5am --and had watched a movie by the same name (Will Smith ) last night. http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/thepursuitofhappyness/
http://www.amazon.com/Pursuit-Happyness-Chris-Gardner/dp/0060744863
The Pleasure book is about another young man - born in similar circumstances about 5,000 years ago - Krishna -the reservoir of pleasure. I got it for free while attending the chariot festival in Los Angeles this july.

Surprisingly the author shows that even in corrupt society we should not stop doing our work --just not partake in its rewards.
It made me happy to have both the books.
Anyone cares for any of them
