Thanks to all who joined us last night at Hallowed Grounds for our Café Society discussion on happiness. I think that this might have been our best discussion yet. Aristotle, Rousseau and others were brought into a very lively discussion.
Our next meeting will take place 6:00-7:00 pm on November 11th. Please stay tuned for our next topic and readings.

Please join us Wednesday, October 14th, from 6:00 -7:00 pm at Hallowed Grounds for the next Café Society when we will discuss the topic of happiness. Please see the links attached for readings.
Aristotle said, “Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.” Yet, historically many have grappled with what happiness truly means. Its essence has been expounded upon by psychologists, philosophers, preachers, and gurus. While products and pills have been marketed as the magic cure-all for depression, the true essence of happiness remains a debate.
