Si quisieras invertir ahora, para mejorar tu presente y futuro, ¿en qué dedicarías tú dinero, tiempo y esfuerzo? Muchos dedican sus recursos a tener fama, dinero o poder. Sin embargo, si dedicas tu tiempo y energía en capturar o aprehender la felicidad, incrementarás tu calidad de vida en el presente, y también en el futuro, pues si te ocupas "de ser feliz, todo lo demás vendrá por añadidura" (Ibáñez, 2011). Pero ¿hasta qué punto estas palabras son ciertas? Si somos felices ¿ya no tendremos deudas? ¿De qué manera me puede ayudar la felicidad a resolver mis problemas? ¿En qué nos ayuda el ser feliz hoy, y en que nos ayuda en el futuro? En realidad... ¿Una idea te puede ayudar a alcanzar la felicidad? Las anteriores preguntas se pretenden contestar en la presente obra, a través de sus 10 temas principales, que son: Propósito de vida. Échale pasión a la vida, al ponerte metas y conquistarlas. Practica el Minimalismo para viajar ligero y en paz. Controla tus pensamientos. Cuida la percepción, debido a que el conflicto cambia según el enfoque. El dinero no es la felicidad La felicidad, una cuestión de gratitud. Pasa más tiempo en actividades sociales. La felicidad no se patea, se aprovecha, al buscar momentos enriquecedores. Desarrolla una personalidad saludable. En dichos temas, se describen 65 ideas, para aprender a ser felices y aprehender la felicidad de manera práctica. Y si bien es cierto que la felicidad no pagará nuestras deudas o resolverá nuestros problemas; en lo que, si puede ayudarnos, es en darnos la motivación y el ánimo necesario para hacerlo, pues cuando estamos bien, sin importar las cosas malas que pasen en nuestro entorno, seguimos adelante, pero cuando estamos mal, sin importar las cosas buenas que estén aconteciendo en nuestro medio ambiente, sentiremos cansancio, desmotivación y posiblemente claudicaremos en la búsqueda de lo que deseamos alcanzar en la vida. Por ende, te invitamos a practicar y ejercitar el arte de ser feliz, para dominarlo, como si se tratara de nuestro deporte favorito, porque cuando somos felices aumenta nuestra calidad de vida en el presente, y en el futuro, debido a que influye de forma positiva en la longevidad, la salud, la resiliencia, las relaciones sociales y la productividad, entre muchas otras cosas más.

"Ask anything in my name, I will do it." (John 14:14) Charles H. Spurgeon supplies daily deposits of God's promises into the reader's personal bank of faith. He urges the reader to view each Bible promise as a check written by God, which can be cashed by personally endorsing it and receiving the gift it represents!

The central figure of this novel is a young man whose parents were executed for conspiring to steal atomic secrets for Russia. His name is Daniel Isaacson, and as the story opens, his parents have been dead for many years. He has had a long time to adjust to their deaths. He has not adjusted. Out of the shambles of his childhood, he has constructed a new life—marriage to an adoring girl who gives him a son of his own, and a career in scholarship. It is a life that enrages him. In the silence of the library at Columbia University, where he is supposedly writing a Ph.D. dissertation, Daniel composes something quite different. It is a confession of his most intimate relationships—with his wife, his foster parents, and his kid sister Susan, whose own radicalism so reproaches him. It is a book of memories: riding a bus with his parents to the ill-fated Paul Robeson concert in Peekskill; watching the FBI take his father away; appearing with Susan at rallies protesting their parents’ innocence; visiting his mother and father in the Death House. It is a book of investigation: transcribing Daniel’s interviews with people who knew his parents, or who knew about them; and logging his strange researches and discoveries in the library stacks. It is a book of judgments of everyone involved in the case—lawyers, police, informers, friends, and the Isaacson family itself. It is a book rich in characters, from elderly grand- mothers of immigrant culture, to covert radicals of the McCarthy era, to hippie marchers on the Pen-tagon. It is a book that spans the quarter-century of American life since World War II. It is a book about the nature of Left politics in this country—its sacrificial rites, its peculiar cruelties, its humility, its bitterness. It is a book about some of the beautiful and terrible feelings of childhood. It is about the nature of guilt and innocence, and about the relations of people to nations. It is The Book of Daniel.
