What Makes You Happy: Audio...

Andy Stanley

Everybody wants to be happy. Everybody is on a happiness quest. For many, happiness is measured in moments. Experiences. It's elusive. Unsustainable. What about you? What makes you happy? Something comes to mind for each of us.
In this six-session audio Bible study, pastor Andy Stanley examines the ways in which we tend to define happiness and explains how that definition influences the way we pursue it. He reveals that happiness is about who, not what, and that happy people are at peace with God, with others, and with themselves. He also shows how sin undermines peace because it separates us from God, others, and ourselves by substituting pleasure for fulfillment, things for people, images for intimacy, and self-expression for self-control.
We are often tempted to believe that happiness comes from acquiring things, but happiness is actually an outcome of what we sow in our lives. We can’t acquire, consume, or exercise our way to happiness, but we may be able to serve and volunteer our way there. In the end, we find that if we live as if it’s all about us, we will never be happy.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage" by Haruki Murakami tells the story of Tsukuru Tazaki, a man haunted by his sudden and unexplained ostracization from his close group of friends during his college years. The narrative follows Tsukuru's journey to understand the reasons for this rejection, which forces him to confront his identity and his place in the world. The story delves into themes of isolation, the search for self, and the complex nature of human relationships, as Tsukuru revisits his past and seeks closure with his old friends, while also forming new relationships. His journey is as much a search for understanding and acceptance from his old friends as it is a quest to understand his own self. The book explores how the past shapes the present and how individuals cope with the pain of abandonment.
