A Father’s Window of Opportunity
It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. It just depended on who you were talking to … Charles Francis Adams was a prominent political figure during the mid-nineteenth century. Politics was in his bloodline—he was, after all, the grandson of President John Adams. But it was also his passion. Armed with a Puritan’s work ethic and sense of duty, Charles believed his time and energy should be devoted to public service and government. His resume speaks to his devotion—Massachusetts state representative, state senator, vice presidential nominee, congressman, and U.S. ambassador to Britain during the Lincoln Administration. Charles was the father of four sons, but given his preoccupation with work, he was not around his family that much.

Your book is so helpful in teaching people like this.May God help you even as you write more books.
Suzen,
Thanks much for your comment. It is encouraging and exciting to hear of The Myth of Happiness being useful for your teaching in Africa. It is a good reminder that issues of joy and happiness are global issues, impacting everyone regardless of the context.
