Although just about every marketing firm, self-help guru, and man on the street has an answer, very few, if any, understand true happiness. It doesn't come from power, pleasure, popularity, or possessions. So what is happiness and how do we find it?
In How to Be Happy, author Matt Fradd relies on the help of St. Thomas Aquinas to show what will—and what won't—bring us happiness in this life.
By making the thought of Aquinas utterly accessible for today, How to Be Happy is an invaluable guide to a good life.

"In a couple of my books, I tried to show that St. Thomas Aquinas is both easy to understand and practical; in this book, Matt Fradd makes him really easy to understand and really practical."
--Peter Kreeft
"Even many Catholics probably imagine that the ideas of St. Thomas Aquinas could only be of interest or understandable to theologians, philosophers, and other intellectuals. Nothing could be further from the truth, as Matt Fradd shows. This engaging book conveys the wisdom of the Angelic Doctor in a way that is accessible, practical, and witty."
--Edward Feser, Professor of Philosophy, Pasadena City College
"St. Thomas Aquinas is known for his towering intellect, but his incredibly down-to-earth wisdom about how to find happiness is accessible to all. In this short book, Matt Fradd presents the Angelic Doctor's roadmap to joy, which includes relaxing baths, growth in virtue, how to master our emotions, and more!"
--Jason Evert, Founder of Chastity Project
“The pursuit of happiness didn't get underway with Thomas Jefferson or the pop psychology publishing industry of the twentieth century or the intriguing findings of the neurosciences in the twenty-first. The question of what makes human beings happy depends upon knowing what human beings are for. In pursuit of these questions, Fradd heeds the guidance of many wise, and I presume, happy minds—chief of which is Thomas Aquinas, who was called the Angelic Doctor for good reason. Find out why. Your happiness depends on it.”
