In this chapter your students will learn that…
■ There are four kinds of happiness: pleasure, comparative, contributive, and transcendent.
■ Pleasure from having basic needs and wants met does not last long.
■ Focusing only on comparing ourselves to others can trap us in a comparison game.
■ Empathy and conscience help us make a positive difference to someone or something beyond ourselves.
■ Even if we experience all the other kinds of happiness, we will still experience a desire for the transcendental — God Himself.
