Resisting Happiness by Mathew Kelly

Hello READBBS community,
Well after a long time a new post is getting posted here recently i read a book called Resisting Happiness by Mathew kelly a friend of mine had a hard cover book so he lended me for a month to read and return back..
i read 5-6 pages at every night and formed the habit of reading every morning.. i try to read as long as i can mostly 20-30 mins every morning and sometimes at night before going to sleep..

Now about the book and my review..
i thoroughly enjoyed reading this book as well i needed something like this to read and i would recommend all to read this one..

Here are some of my favourite quotes from the book..

“Wherever you find excellence, you find continuous learning. They go hand in hand. Wherever you find that continuous learning is missing, you find mediocrity.”
― Matthew Kelly, Resisting Happiness


“Knowing that death is not far off brings remarkable clarity. After that news, there is no middle ground; something is either very important or not important at all.”
― Matthew Kelly, Resisting Happiness

“Addiction in all its forms, large and small, serious and less serious (no addiction is trivial), is one of the central themes of our lives. Identifying our own addictions of thought and action is part of each person’s spiritual journey. Food, control, talking too much, work, sex, pornography, alcohol, drugs, always being right, noise, negative thinking, negative humor, skepticism, cynicism, minimalism…the list is varied and endless. It doesn’t matter what it is for you, and it doesn’t matter what it is for me. What matters is how we respond.”― Matthew Kelly, Resisting Happiness

“In order to have a healthy financial life that balances earning with spending, and saving with giving, one must be able to delay gratification. In order to raise children to become the-best-version-of-themselves, one must be willing to delay gratification.”― Matthew Kelly, Resisting Happiness

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”― Matthew Kelly, Resisting Happiness

“Whatever your age, if you have not yet fallen in love with learning, begin that love affair today. How? Go wherever your interests lead you. It is the perfect place to start. Rekindle a childlike curiosity. Ask why a lot. Free yourself from outcomes; you don’t need a reason and you don’t need to accomplish anything. I”― Matthew Kelly, Resisting Happiness
