The secret of happiness




A lonely and grumpy old man made a point of despising all the villagers.

He didn't greet anyone, he refused to participate in meetings or gatherings, and when he addressed someone it was to insult and offend.

Close to turning 100 years old, he regretted having spent his entire life looking for happiness, without ever having approached it.

Until the day he reached a century of existence, he was seen in the square playing with children, telling anecdotes, cheering those who approached, dancing like a lucky man.


With the reading of the book “The secret of happiness” you will know the story of the hermit and the events that, at the end of his life, transformed the old grumpy man into a fun and happy man.

All of them present simple and inspiring stories designed to enable communion between parents and children.

In a playful way, each book presents a narrative where fun teachings stand out. They are lessons based on the philosophy that interacts meditation and conduct. But not any mental contemplation and any action, but meditation and conduct that are anchored in critical reflection.

How to deal with problems, from the simplest and most ordinary - which emerge from day to day - to the most serious and complex? More than that, how to process them without losing sight of creativity and rationality, putting principles and values on the same scale, self-esteem and collectivity, respect for differences and tolerance, fraternity and solidarity.

The need to keep emotions in a state of equilibrium, the stimulus to curiosity and investigation, the impetus to successive questions, the importance of giving relevance to informal education as well, the development of skills that make it possible to deconstruct thinking in order to reconstruct it in new ways bases, are some of the inputs explored in the books of the Collection.

How to think better? Wouldn't happiness be in the little things that are tangled up in everyday life? And as for justice, democratic principles and ethical values, are they not the pillars that support the virtuous man? These are questions that the author developed and that structure the scenarios present in the stories, a privileged space where parents and children - through readings and discussions - will learn from each other.
