Overview
As both a student and a professor, Dr. John Izzo has been searching for what makes people feel calm, fulfilled and happy. And what robs us of this happiness? In this candid interview, Dr. Izzo discusses the basic tenets of his thoughtful and inspiring book: “The Five Thieves of Happiness.” Izzo believes that happiness is our natural state, but there are “thieves” stealing our happiness: control, conceit, coveting, consumption and comfort. In this important class, he explains how we each have the power to discover, develop and defend the happiness that is our true nature—while creating a world we all want to live in.
