Curious about the world's religions, this 16-year-old author explores whether certain religious beliefs and practices can contribute to the achievement of personal and shared happiness. Julia's original research brings her into conversation with teachers and leaders from four of today's leading systems of faith and worship: Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Judaism. To ensure a balanced investigation, Julia has identified a single reference book for each religion. She also includes insightful participant comments from an online survey she conducted in her community. There is much to enjoy in these pages, including Julia's concluding synthesis of the beliefs and practices that will make her happy - her philosophy of happiness. | The Philosophy of Happiness by Julia Mussellwhite, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
