About This Book

A practical philosophical guide that argues happiness results from forethought and the removal of fear-driven worry. It defines key terms, analyzes the origins and harmful effects of fear, and proposes methods to eliminate general and specific anxieties by reforming habits of thought and action. Emphasizing mental cultivation alongside bodily care, the text offers similes, logic, and concrete precepts to develop appreciation, altruism, and a steady point of view; it considers the present moment, the impotence of pain, suspicion, and selfish impulses, and closes with illustrative appendices and an explanation of the authorial A.B.C. approach.
