The Happiness Project
Ron Leifer
The ways we strive for happiness—trying to fulfill desires, avoid pain, and create self-identity—are the same ways that we cause suffering for ourselves and others. In Buddhism, these three components are called the “Three Poisons”.
In this work, Dr. Leifer presents a view of the Three Poisons, compatible with Western science, from the Buddha’s foundational teaching on the Four Noble Truths. He then explores the themes of suffering, desire, and self-identity (or “ignorance”) as they recur throughout Western religion, mythology, history, philosophy, law and psychology. Finally, he offers a meditation on the problems and prospects of seeking and finding lasting happiness.
