Resisting Happiness by Matthew Kelly


by
 
A thought-provoking book. The essential argument appears to be:

(1) God created us to be in relationship with him
(2) We're (ideally?) happy only if we're pursuing our created purpose
-------
Therefore, if we resist pursuing a relationship with God, then we are "resisting happiness"

I'm not convinced that the matter is as cut-and-dried as Mr. Kelly presents it. Nonetheless, I think a lot could be learned by spelling out his specific mistake(s). For that reason, I'll re-read this book at some point. I disagreed with it, but I enjoyed it.
