Looking for Happiness, Finding Faith
Dr. Arthur C. Brooks spoke about "happiness" at an Acton Lecture Series event last week. Dr. Brooks, a professor of Business and Government Policy at Syracuse University and a visiting scholar with the American Enterprise Institute, presented evidence which suggests that religion is the greatest factor in general human happiness in the United States. Religion, argues Dr. Brooks, is essential to human flourishing in the United States and public secularism should be strongly guarded against by everyone - religious or not.
He is the author of, most recently, Gross National Happiness (2008) and Who Really Cares? (2006) published by Basic Books.
