A Manual for Happiness: Vademecum for Eleonora and Tudora

About the Book

A Manual for Happiness is intended to show some insights-in words and pictures-into the basic connections between man and the universe. Essential truth can also be expressed simply and briefly. Images from the Stone Age to the present time, megalith monuments, cave drawings, paintings, graphic, collages, and ceramics are intended to show how one can live happily, if one follows the Hermetic laws of the universe.

These secrets, carved on the emerald tables of Hermes Trismegistos, are now being rediscovered and adapted to modern times. These divine secrets are culture-spanning and valid in all epochs of human history. Written as a Vademecum, a long since out-of-fashion literary style, is a handy, small-format guide and advisor for all possible situations in life for readers to follow and achieve an overall happy and spiritual fulfilling life.
