On Being Happy

by Patrick Yee

On Being Happy is a unique collection of imaginative and enchanting illustrations created by artist Patrick Yee in celebration of happiness. Like pictorial haiku, this delightful series of colorful paintings and meditative titles captures happiness in its most evocative and poetic forms.
Arranged in a contemplative, season-to-season narrative, from the blossoming of spring flowers and sunny summer days spent at the beach to the changing colors of autumn leaves and the first snow of winter, On Being Happy is a perfect peaceful companion throughout the year. Open to any page, or read from cover to the unaffected simplicity, warmth, and humor of this charming book will give you a new perspective and appreciation of the happiness to be found in everyday things.
