About this listen

Bloomsbury presents A Theory of Happiness by Kim Hyung Seok, read by Arthur Lee.

**Over 50,000 copies sold**

What does real happiness look like? How can we find true purpose, meaning and connection in our finite time on Earth?

105-year-old Professor Kim reveals key aspects of ancient Korean philosophy and shares stories from over a century of living to help us live better.
Showing us how to lean into the world with more softness, gratitude, openness and sincerity – especially when confronted with life's challenges – he invites us to discover the everyday lessons we can take from Korean values, giving invaluable insight into:

  • how to find the happiness that already exists in our daily lives
  • how we can cultivate happiness through hard work and personal growth
  • how to nurture happiness in our closest relationships
  • how we can enjoy happiness that grows with us as we age and mature.

The answers to finding genuine, long-lasting happiness in life are more straightforward than we think.
