Summary

Alexis de Tocqueville was a French nineteenth century political philosopher and historian. His landmark work ‘Democracy in America’ (1840) analyses the improved living standards and social conditions of individuals as well as their relationship to the market and state in Western societies. The treatise won Tocqueville an immediate reputation as an esteemed political scientist. In later years, he turned to the subject of the French Revolution and, after years of research, he published ‘The Old Regime and the Revolution’, exploring French society before the French Revolution, the so-called “Ancien Régime”, while investigating the forces that led to the 1789 Revolution. The book is now generally considered one of the major early historical works on the subject, which expands on Tocqueville’s main theory about the Revolution — the theory of continuity. This eBook presents Tocqueville’s collected (almost complete) works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    In this highly engaging and eminently practical book—told in the form of a Platonic dialogue recounting real-life patient experiences—Drs. Lickerman and ElDifrawi assert that the reason genuine, long-lasting happiness is so difficult to achieve and maintain is that we're profoundly confused not only about how to go about it but also about what happiness is. 
 
 
 
In identifying nine basic erroneous views we all have about what we need to be happy—views they term the core delusions—Lickerman and ElDifrawi show us that our happiness depends not on our external possessions or even on our experiences but rather on the beliefs we have that shape our most fundamental thinking. These beliefs, they argue, create ten internal life-conditions, or worlds, through which we continuously cycle and that determine how happy we're able to be. 
 
 
 
Drawing on the latest scientific research as well as Buddhist philosophy, Lickerman and ElDifrawi argue that once we learn to embrace a correct understanding of happiness, we can free ourselves from the suffering the core delusions cause us and enjoy the kind of happiness we all want, the kind found in the highest of the Ten Worlds, the world of Enlightenment.
