The Search for Happiness: Realizing the Absolute Happiness of our True Nature

If readers are searching for happiness, then the pointers in this book will certainly show the way home. If readers have been longing to know the nature of true peace, then these profound yet spirited talks between Bernard Harmand and his inquirers may leave readers with a radically different sense of "who" they are and what is the true nature of happiness. The desire to be happy represents the fundamental drive in people, and its search pushes us to seek an elusive goal, either through the senses or through religious belief. Bernard is quick to point out the great paradox at the heart of this search: that our very nature "our true being" is the very happiness people so desperately seek. He says that everyone is like a person who searches for a missing necklace that has always been around his or her own neck. Throughout The Search for Happiness, the fundamental questions posed by sincere seekers of truth are refreshingly explored. and the answers never get in the reader's way. No dogma or belief here, just a loving presence who guides without guiding and speaks to the heart without relying on words. Bernard's message is clear: We only need to realize that we have never left the source of abiding peace and happiness, even though it may appear otherwise.These dialogues and letters cover much ground in just a few pages, and solid pointers are provided to help reach the precipice of that Love which consumes all in its path. And Bernard is always right there, reminding us to realize that we are now, and always have been, the eternal happiness that is our true self.
