    Now I’m interested in happiness, very interested. But is happiness a serious problem? Yes, it must be a very serious problem because so many people are looking for it where it can’t be found.

“Seek ye first...”

    Dennis Prager has written a new book, Happiness is a Serious Problem. Dennis says we owe it to ourselves, our partners, our society, our creator to make ourselves happy. How do we do this? According to Dennis, we do it through constant applications of will power.

    A whole book on applying will power? Dennis Prager subtitled his book A Human Nature Repair Manual.

    We are humans, but we need more than human advice when it comes to happiness. In Matthew 6:33, the Bible says, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all of his righteousness, and all these others things will be added unto you.” Seek ye first... The Father knew that if we sought him first, we would find happiness.
