Aristototelous, a successful attorney as well as author and songwriter, functions out of both sides of his brain as a linear legal thinker, as well as a creative ie. author and songwriter. Philoppos captures both sides of the brain in his concept of achieving happiness. He helps us move toward self-actualization whether one is a straight line point A to point B literalist or a creative who skates the universe.
As I say – Sign Me Up!

The book is packed with quotes from everyone from Aristotle and Schopenhauer to Seth Godin and Derren Brown (all properly annotated in over 250 footnotes) and, perhaps more importantly, sup- ported by stories from his own life, which reveal both success and failure, doubts and certainty, correct and wrong decisions. He notes, ‘The fact that you are reading this book right now, a book on happi- ness, is a testament to the relentless audacity of a creative child trapped inside the body of an adult. Meet yours truly.’
It’s a pleasure to meet Philippos Aristotelous, and he is absolutely right in his belief that the universal quest for happiness is a Marvel- lous pursuit indeed.

The Marvel of Happiness puts forth a method towards fitting together the pieces of the happiness puzzle. For so many of us these puzzle pieces never quite fit and in the pursuit of this we often question “why?” or “what's missing?” This is a must read for those seeking answers to these questions and for those looking to align and place the pieces of their own happiness puzzle together.

It’s a book with plenty of breadth and depth. You will read about the meaning of meaning, autonomy as a relative concept, relatedness as enriching interaction, experience as past exploits and future endeavors, and learning as an essential pivot for the pursuit of happiness.You will not become happier after you read this book but you will learn a lot on how to get there. And you might well be persuaded to take some new actions so you enjoy the journey.

Philippos Aristotelous leads us on a quest to uncover the roots of happiness. He accomplishes this elusive mission with humour, a relatable tone, science and vivid anecdotes. Along the way, he amuses with quotes from Greek philosophers, citations from social scientists and references from happiness researchers. He also dispels common myths about happiness and offers a bounty of gems backed with tons of research and life experiences. Happiness may be an elusive undertaking for most mortals, but with Philippos as our happiness guide, we can take comfort in knowing that we are on the right track.

Reading through the pages of the book is like riding a fast car with a smooth engine, the use of the English language and the writing style prompt the reader to turn the pages at exhilarating speed. The richness of sources the author uses to inform his thesis, ranging from ancient academics to modern day practitioners, provide a wealth of knowledge and ideas that sustain his ‘marvel’ scheme in a vigorous and alluring manner. It is certainly difficult to write a book on happiness. Philippos succeeds in producing such a book that, we, as readers, can embrace since our choice to read it, as the author says: “[…] is a testament to the relentless audacity of a creative child trapped inside the body of an adult.”

Initially I was curious about the book, but while reading it I began to feel that it was important and relevant for my life to get some structured, well-reasoned answers. I got them here, and I hope you will get them too. Philippos helps you throughout the MARVEL journey with his wisdom, humour and time-proven stories and lively examples, so this should well become on the top of your must-reads.’
