All of the books that are, or will be presented are either foundational to the concept of The Pursuit of Happiness" or they offer insights that will help individuals use that natural right in ways that best suit them.
Some of the books are reprints of influential books that were written long ago by others. But most were created by artificial intelligence, based on narrow slices of strategies for a successful pursuit.
Any of the books is suitable as supplementary course material or for personal guidance and enlightenment. Each book has a summary of its contents and a brief description of The Happiness Oath.
The Happiness Oath
--- A SIMPLE SHORTCUT ---
The "Oath" is little more than a private reminder that "Today, I will do something extra for someone" and "Today I will learn something new". And at the end of the day, a private acknowledgement that "Today, I did this and I learned that".
The opportunities for doing and for learning will present themselves --- The Oath simply prepares you for the opportunities to step up when they happen and make good use of them.
The Oath is a useful starting point for becoming the person you always wanted to be.
"Legendaries"
--- Parallax Views of History and Culture ---
What you've got is often easier to appreciate if you see what an alternative might have been.
Although not written as such, the version of Robin Hood that we showcase incorporates many of the same elements as an alternative history ---- or a biased news report.
We commissioned several alternative histories of events that influenced modern American Culture, but with minor differences that could have changed everything that we now know and accept.
Legendaries may help you experience both sides of matters that have a daily impact on your life.
"Activities"
--- An All-You-Can-Eat Buffet ---
American Culture is constantly evolving, but its core is still "The Pursuit of Happiness".
The framework that shaped the core of American Culture AND its evolving parts merged pieces of cultures and laws that preceded the U.S. Constitution.
Our "Dreamweavers" Cuisines present customs and recipes that existed when and where important civilizations existed so that you can experience the festive side of people and events that may seem less exciting to you than most of them really were.
"The Pursuit of Happiness"
--- One of Your 'Natural Rights' ---
There are countless obstacles that can delay or cancel an individual's Pursuit of Happiness. Our Happiness books
present several ways of recognizing and rectifying many of the most common obstacles.
Each Happiness book is actually a collection of summaries of complete books that we commissioned to describe individual obstacles. One chapter equals one book on one topic.
Most "self help" books can be reduced to a single chapter of useful information anyway, in our humble opinion.
