Book Description
We all fear loss of independence, aging, and death. Helen certainly does when she comes to live at Happiness Hollow, an assisted-living facility described by some residents as a cult in which they are killed with kindness. Choosing the wrong path to maintain her independence, Helen finds her life and health going downhill. During her heart attack, however, she receives a powerful vision which renews her lagging faith and gives her a mission. That mission is to use the seven sacraments in unorthodox ways to teach the Art of Living and the Art of Dying, and to liberate a small group of residents who, like her, have lost all joy, meaning, and purpose in their lives. Overcoming challenges, Helen and her group go on to revolutionize Happiness Hollow and beyond. Aging and death are difficult topics to discuss, especially with those you love. This lighthearted story, replete with romance and mystery, follows this diverse band of residents as they derive peace and wisdom from their long histories, explore their fears and beliefs about death, find new strength and purpose, and create a positive and loving environment for themselves. Happiness Hollow, with humor and probing questions, gently opens the way for introspection and discussion. The reading list at the end directs you to further resources.

Book Description
All of the books in this compilation are clean Cozy Mystery short stories that do not contain any foul language, sexual situations, witches, or paranormal events. Book One - Dying To Win Holly Bridges had always dreamed of having her own stable. While out for a drive in the country, she found a farm with a large indoor arena and several outdoor arenas. Even though it looked like it hadn't been used in years, it was the perfect location for holding equestrian shows and stabling horses. Shortly after opening, Holly managed to acquire a prominent local's horse as her first boarder. With the new tenant it looked like Happy Hollow Stable's first equestrian show could be a huge draw for the locals. Well, that is until a dead body showed up in a nearby field. Will the show go on or will Holly have to give up her lifelong dream? Book Two - Kill Them With Kindness While celebrating the windfall of her very expensive Hanoverian gelding, Rufus, the old barn cat, showed up sick. When Holly realized that she hadn't chosen a vet for any of the animals, her assistant suggested that try the local Veterinarian in Hill City. After seeing the vet, Rufus wasn't getting any better, so Holly made a follow up appointment to have him checked out again. Shortly after their arrival at the vet's office she found the doctor dead. Did the Veterinarian die of natural causes or could it have been murder? Book Three - Old Dog New Tricks Holly was just getting settled in at Happy Hollow Stables when she found herself being adopted by a German shepherd that showed up looking for food. Since the dog arrived without a collar or any type of identification, she took him to the local vet to help search for his owner. The vet checked him for a microchip, but couldn't find anything. Since she was unable to locate his owner, Holly decided Happy Hollow Stables could be his new home away from home until his owner could be found. Soon after the dog got familiar with his new surroundings, Holly discovered he seemed to have yet another secret. How will she find out what it is?

Her assistant, Mckenzie, recommended that she have the truck towed into the local mechanic in Hill City. Once the mechanic completed his inspection, he explained that her truck was simply too old and not worth fixing and referred Holly to his business partner that sells used cars in the attached building. Will the cost of a new truck be murder? Book Five - Silence of Snowfall It's Valentine's Day and a local reporter for the Hill City Herald just announced a blizzard is coming. As the weather moves into the area, and road conditions begin to deteriorate, Holly finds herself with a sick horse and a host of uninvited Valentines Day guests at Happy Hollow Stables.

Book Description
What is happiness, and how does the pursuit of happiness shape our lives? Happiness appears to be a simple emotion, individual and pleasurable, yet the problems associated with happiness in politics, economics, and philosophy suggest that it is perhaps more complex and paradoxical than we first thought. This eclectic collection of essays interrogates the 'common sense' understanding of happiness in the West and examines the strategies devised to obtain it. Without disposing of the concept altogether, the book rediscovers the latent aspects of this pervasive (and elusive) phenomenon. Ultimately, it concludes that our current notions of happiness may in fact be the very cause of our discontent. On Happiness offers readers a spectrum of critical reflections and 'rethinks' of this ubiquitous cultural obsession. *** Librarians: ebook available on ProQuest and EBSCO [Subject: Philosophy, Sociology, Popular Culture]

Book Description
Since the earliest days of philosophy, thinkers have debated the meaning of the term happiness and the nature of the good life. But it is only in recent years that the study of happiness—or “hedonics”—has developed into a formal field of inquiry, cutting across a broad range of disciplines and offering insights into a variety of crucial questions of law and public policy. Law and Happinessbrings together the best and most influential thinkers in the field to explore the question of what makes up happiness—and what factors can be demonstrated to increase or decrease it. Martha Nussbaum offers an account of the way that hedonics can productively be applied to psychology, Cass R. Sunstein considers the unexpected relationship between happiness and health problems, Matthew Adler and Eric A. Posner view hedonics through the lens of cost-benefit analysis, David A. Weisbach considers the relationship between happiness and taxation, and Mark A. Cohen examines the role crime—and fear of crime—can play in people’s assessment of their happiness, and much more. The result is a kaleidoscopic overview of this increasingly prominent field, offering surprising new perspectives and incisive analyses that will have profound implications on public policy.
