Why, since happiness is so universally sought after, are so many people so miserable? The answer can be found by unpacking the wisdom of two of history's intellectual giants who set out to answer the question that has confounded man from time immemorial: What makes us happy?

Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas existed sixteen centuries apart, yet each reached similar understandings about what makes a person happy. In this enlightening book, Dr. Charles Nemeth synthesizes the judgments of history's two greatest thinkers to present for you a life plan that inevitably leads to a happy human existence.

You will explore what it means to be happy and will come to understand the limitations of happiness. And you'll calibrate your compass so that you will be able to navigate your way into a state of life that makes you truly happy.

Moreover, you'll discover why happiness is obtained through action and not mere desire and why wealth and fame do not—and cannot—buy happiness.

With this Rosetta stone of a book, you will find solutions to fortify your soul and bring you peace. You will be equipped with a new sense of direction, hope, and healing that will guide you closer to lasting happiness.

Dr. Charles P. Nemeth has been an educator for more than forty years and has spent the vast majority of his professional life in the study and practice of law and justice. In addition, he has published over fifty textbooks and references across multiple editions and is a recognized expert on professional ethics and the justice system, private-sector justice, and private security systems. In addition, Dr. Nemeth integrates practical and professional concepts with both classical and medieval thought, especially the ethical and moral principles espoused by Thomas Aquinas, Cicero, and Aristotle. Dr. Nemeth is professor and director of criminal justice-and director of the Center for Criminal Justice, Law, and Ethics-at Franciscan University of Steubenville in Steubenville, Ohio. Prior to this, he was chair and professor of security, fire, and emergency management and director of the Center of Private Security and Safety at John Jay College in New York City. Dr. Nemeth continues his association with John Jay College as Professor Emeritus. He has also served as chief editor to a peer reviewed journal The Homeland Security Review and is now editor in chief of Natural Law and Justice.

As a full-time voice talent and Audie-nominated audiobook narrator, Lyle Blaker has narrated nearly 100 audiobook titles, as well as countless hours of e-learning narration for major companies such as Houghton Mifflin, Harvard Business School, and Refinery Pass, and is an often-used voice for WGBH Channel 2 in Boston, Massachusetts. He is known for his warm, friendly, and approachable narration style.
