The subject of happiness is universally relevant but intensely personal in its application. In six doctrinal essays and two personal narratives, The Humble Seeker of Happiness: Lessons in Joy from the Book of Mormon explores the concept of joy within the context of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. However, increased happiness is not this book's most important lesson. At its core, The Humble Seeker of Happiness is about understanding the personal nature of Christ's atoning sacrifice, discovering your unique role in God's Plan of Happiness, and being motivated to accept the grace of Christ as you work towards the ultimate gift God has in store for you: to join with Him in experiencing eternal joy.
