What is the secret to finding happiness?

Hey,

I’m a young person, and I often find myself despairing or feeling unhappy about life and the way that the world is. I’m wondering if anyone here has any advice. How can I live a happy life? What is the secret?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts,

Ben

Re: In Memoriam

Rest in peace to all of the volunteers of times gone by. Ray Kasper gave me a lot of laughs with his dramatic recordings of Shakespeare. I’ll try to check out some of the others.

Re: SOLO - The Island Of Doctor Moreau by H.G. Wells - gg

No problem, currently I've listened to six of your recordings and will continue to go through more.
