For centuries, the great philosophers have contemplated and discussed the conditions that advance human happiness. It isn't about wealth or fame, glamour or cleverness. It's not found in complex diets or routines. Instead, it is simply to understand -- and to master -- what the eminent philosopher and physicist Rev. Dr. Robert Spitzer refers to as the "Four Levels of Happiness."

In this ground-breaking book, Dr. Spitzer describes each and explains how advancing to the next level brings you one step closer toward becoming fully happy. He lays out in an engaging and accessible way using science, philosophy, and psychology how to ascend the ladder of happiness and find the fulfillment of all your desires.

You will discover:

• The four questions that help you determine where you are on the happiness scale
• The essential ingredient for level-one happiness
• How the level that dominates your life inevitably dictates your actions
• The endless loop people get stuck in with level-two happiness
• The keys to level-three happiness and what goes into deciding to move to level four
• Questions to ask yourself about others that will enlighten your mind and change your life

You will also learn about the five transcendental desires that pull you up toward the fourth level of happiness -- and the five cosmic inadequacies that drive you beyond the world of the senses.

Most significantly, you will find out how to reach that fourth level and be empowered to live an enlightened, purposeful, joyous life. Above all, through Spitzer's logical, systematic reasoning you will see the beauty of happiness at work within you and how to open your heart ever-wider to the transcendent power of love.
