    About this ebook

    * Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes.

    By reading this summary, you will learn how to become the instigator of your own misfortune.

    You will also learn:

    to tame your misfortune;
    to reconcile yourself with your most banal neuroses;
    to reasonably face your problems, from the simplest to the most complex;
    to relativize the notion of happiness.

    By nature, man is not destined to be satisfied with mere bliss. It is therefore time to re-establish the truth: the pursuit of happiness does not necessarily lead to happiness. Moreover, it is impossible to attach a definition to this notion. However, one thing is certain: everyone aspires to be happy, although you would not be much without your unhappiness. World literature is enough to confirm this postulate: disaster, tragedy, catastrophe... All memorable works are composed of these secret ingredients. Constructed as a personal development guide, "Make your own misfortune" ironically explores everything that can make you unhappy in your daily life. Are you ready to understand the workings and mechanisms responsible for your unhappiness?
