Book Description
This inspirational and uplifting collection of quotes and stories is a celebration of kindness in all its guises. There are many types of kindness: compassion, forgiveness, love, friendship, generosity, happiness, hope, and gratitude. Kindness has a kind of magic about it. The smallest gesture can have a powerful and memorable impact on the person on the receiving end—and there are also many benefits to the person who is being kind. Unexpected kindness can turn despair into joy, friendship into love, duty into gratitude, and the wonder of it is that it often triggers further acts of kindness, so the goodwill spreads and the energy continues. This beautifully illustrated book has been created as a gift of kindness that is a joy to give as well as receive, and will enrich the life of whoever reads it. As the Greek writer Aesop said, ‘No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.’

Book Description
Filled with inspiring famous quotations, this little book is not about how to find the key to happiness, the pursuit of which keeps happiness in the future and apart from us. This book is about how to be happiness. Quotes provide beacons for the inward journey that connects us to the source of joy and brings us home. We are alive, so we might as well enjoy the dance.

Book Description
An outstanding novel about a young Russian woman's life in exile after the Russian Revolution. The Book of Happiness is one of the outstanding novels the great Russian writer Nina Berberova wrote during the years she lived in Paris, and the most autobiographical. "All Berberova's characters live raw, unfurnished lives, in poverty, on the edge of cities, with little sense of belongingexcept in moments of epiphanyto their time and in life itself" (The Observer). Such a character is Vera, the protagonist of The Book of Happiness. At the novel's opening, Vera is summoned to the scene of a suicide, that of her childhood companion, Sam Adler, whose family left Russia in the early days of the revolution and whom Vera has not seen in many years. His death reduces Vera to a flood of tears and memories of the times before Sam's departure, and thoughts about how her life has gone sinceher move to Paris where she lives tied to a brilliant but demanding invalid husband. Berberova spins the story with a wonderful unsentimental poignancy, making it a beautiful testament to the indestructibility of happiness.
