Where does your aversion to things, animals, or even certain people come from? Why do you behave in a particular way and avoid behaving in another? Are you responsible for all your actions and the choices you make? Or is it all biology?

This is the main topic of this book Determined ““ Is there free will? And if there is NO free will, are we just machines driven by our physiology? And if we believe there is no free will and it is also determined, will there be fewer acts of kindness, will we feel less appreciated and not credited for our efforts, or do we need to think beyond?

Anguish is unique to each person. No one can fully understand another’s pain, and it’s not helpful to tell someone there are others suffering more. However, it is comforting to know that those who have endured far greater pain have found ways to cope, and that gives you hope that you can manage yours as well.

This book is not about what you need to do to attain bliss and be in a constant state of happiness. Rather, it tells you that seeking happiness should not be a goal. “Happiness cannot be pursued, it must ensue. One must have a reason to be happy. Once the reason is found, however, one becomes happy automatically.”
