Throughout his lengthy medical and research career, author Om P. Sharma, MD, has discovered that human beings are communal creatures who often tie their own contentment to the well-being of their neighbor.
From this perspective, it’s easy to understand why our connections through technology have become so vital to the way we feel about who we are and what we offer the world. Linking us to people all over the globe, technology has become the tool we use to determine how others perceive us and how we should judge ourselves—with most of our value being attached to the temporal world rather than the spiritual.
The Art and Science of Happiness in Body, Mind, and Soul examines the pursuit of happiness, including our history with it, philosophies regarding it, the biology that compels us to chase it, the religious and spiritual guidance that teaches us how to nurture it, and scientific interpretations of it.
In a society that often measures worth by material possessions, Dr. Sharma notes that many of us have lost sight of what truly brings fulfillment and joy: developing a sense of integrity and morality, spiritual connection, and compassion for ourselves and those around us.
