What if happiness isn’t missing from your life, just misunderstood?

In The Mystery of Happiness: Who Has It and How to Get It, Conrad Santa Jr. invites you on a deeply human, faith-filled, and practical journey to uncover what true happiness really is, and why so many people chase it but never seem to catch it.

We live in a world obsessed with appearances, achievements, and applause. Social media promises joy but delivers comparison. Success offers comfort but not contentment. And somewhere along the way, many of us are left asking the same haunting question: Why am I still not happy? This book doesn’t offer quick fixes or empty clichés. Instead, it courageously explores the heart of the matter.

Drawing from real-life stories, biblical wisdom, psychological insight, and personal experience, Conrad dismantles the myth that happiness is found in possessions, status, or perfection. He reveals happiness as a journey, one rooted in resilience, forgiveness, purpose, mindfulness, meaningful relationships, and a restored relationship with God.

Each chapter tackles a core pillar of lasting joy: thriving through life’s challenges, healing emotional wounds, living fully in the present, building authentic connections, and discovering a purpose bigger than yourself. Along the way, readers are challenged to confront painful truths, let go of false narratives, and embrace a more honest, grace-filled way of living.

This is not just a book to read, it’s a guide to reflect on, wrestle with, and live out. Whether you feel stuck, exhausted, successful-but-empty, or simply hungry for more, this book meets you where you are and points you toward something deeper.

Happiness isn’t a destination. It’s a transformation.

And this book just might be the beginning of yours.
