Throughout my
research, I discovered many essays on happiness. People described
what happiness meant to them on a personal level, as well as a worldwide
level. Some stated that they knew how to find it. Some even
went so far as to claim they could provide it (usually at a very high fee).
Reading so many peoples views on happiness has been quite enlightening.
I've added
some of these essays to this site. Simply click on the title of the
essay you would like to peruse, and off you go! (Some essays
had no author listed, and therefore I added a link after each essay to
the page where I obtained them. The owners of each site should have
that information, if I couldn't find it.)
I also added small blurbs next to each title to give you an idea of what
the essay is about.
