To the Summit: Why Should You Embrace an Ideal in Your Heart?: US $15.95
C$18.95; After years of living in two of the richest countries on the planet, citizens of America and Japan don't seem to be any happier by the measurement of most psychologists today. Philosopher/entrepreneur Hiroshi Tasaka calls this the "Happiness Gap," and says it is the most important personal crisis that we all face. What good are the proceeds of our work if they do not make us any happier?

Using a compelling mixture of Zen Buddhist philosophy and the teachings of Friedrich Nietzsche, Tasaka makes a logical argument for the adoption of a purpose in our lives. What sort of life would you be comfortable repeating, over and over again? What sort of life features growth as its central theme? How can we keep our eye on the future while remaining rooted in the present?
