Books. The philosophy of happiness is inexhaustible from an African village.

Book The Philosophy of Inexhaustible Happiness from an African Village by Hishui Kokaro × Shogen

5 principles from the book

Happiness lies in living a simple life.

The inhabitants of African villages do not have luxurious items, but revel from smiles, sharing and coexistence.

Share is real wealth.

Wealth comes not from accumulation, but from giving and helping each other. When shared, happiness multiplies.

Thank you for the little things each day.

Whether it's a simple meal, laughter, or being with your family, these little things are a treasure that many people overlook.

Stay with the present to the fullest.

Not to sink in the past, not to worry about the future, but to live today as a village that uses every day meaningfully.

Happiness does not require complex conditions.

Maybe what we're looking for is to be "here" calmly and accept ourselves, not to grab the infinite.

Code: AKQ-HZQ-RSH

If your life is busy running after things that are never enough, stop and look at the "little pleasures" around you today, practice thank you, share and stay with the present, you will find that real happiness never goes away, just waiting for you to see and embrace it.

Fast-paced books to get you out of a reading slump
Nothing kills a reading slump faster than a short, unputdownable book, the kind that grabs you from page one, moves fast, and makes you feel like a reading genius because you finished it in one sitting. Or would I say… I'm too lazy for hundred pages kind of book, I need short one please!
