Knowing and Loving: The Keys to Real Happiness

Time: 7:00 PM Location: Barnes & Noble Bookstore, 2710 South Green Bay Road, Racine, WI Sponsored By: Lattes and Literature Meetup (author meeting): Robert Beezat will be joining us to discuss his book at this Meetup. Be joyful! Have fun! Be the happy person you were born to be! Understanding, developing, and nurturing the human capacities of knowing and loving are the keys to finding deep and long lasting human happiness. Who am I? What am I? Why am I here? Is there a God? What will really make me happy? These are questions all of us ask ourselves from time to time. Our answers to or avoidance of those questions shape the practical and moral choices we make every day. Those choices, in turn, determine our level of happiness. As human beings, we are born to know and love. With a grasp of this basic concept, we can make choices and decisions which will enable us to live authentic, good, and happy lives in the short term and the long run. It is never too early or too late in life to be deeply happy!
