The Joys of Living is a classic self-help book which suggests many ways the reader can better appreciate life and acquire lasting happiness in day-to-day living. Marden points to various aspects of living which can confer a sense of meaning and happiness, from the friendships and connections we hold with others to the small pleasures we can experience by exercising our imaginations and being contented with a modest lot.
