Hva er lykke? Og hva gjør oss lykkelige?
Alle mennesker søker lykken. Men det finnes ingen lykkeformel, ingen enkel metode som kan garantere oss lykke. Hva om lykken simpelthen er vår måte å møte livet på, vår innstilling til oss selv og til det som skjer oss? Kanskje befinner lykken seg akkurat der vi er?

About the author
Einar Øverenget
19 books4 followersEinar Øverenget is a well known Norwegian philosopher, concerning himself with problems surrounding ethics and values, as well as cultural development and anti-corruption.
He got his PhD in philosophy from Boston College, and is currently the rector of ACTIVA Humanistiske Akademi, which he also co-founded in 2000. Øverenget thinks it is important to make philosophy accessible to the people, and is often to be seen and heard in the media.
He appeared as one of the expert witnesses in the Anders Behring Breivik trial in 2012. He argued that evil does indeed exist, and that it does not necessarily automatically translate to insanity. He therefore argued that Behring Breivik could be held accountable for his actions.

En klok og god bok om hva lykke er. Ingen dyptpløyende analyser av filosofiske teorier, men enkel og personlig refleksjon ut fra flere kilder, også hverdagsscener fra forfatterens liv og observasjoner. Aller viktigst: Det som skrives om Sartre og Kierkegaard på ss. 133-134.
Og hva er så definisjonen på lykke? At vi er autoriteter i eget liv, lever våre evner, at vi har venner.
Jeg vil tilføye: At vi skjønner at lykke og lykkelig ikke er det samme.
