The good living book, masterfully handled by Süleyman A. Örnek, will make you look at the situations with an ‘awareness’ by comparing them with the ones you have not noticed before.
US-based public opinion research company Gallup conducted a survey in 143 countries about the perceived happiness levels in 2015 and Turkey, taking the same points with Bangladesh and Serbia shared the third place at the bottom. Turkey, in 2013 and in happiness research carried out by the same company had been 97th in 135 countries.
So our unhappiness is increasing more and more. We saw the bottom quite well.
We are quite unhappy here. Not because Gallup says so. Get out of your house and see the situation with your own eyes. Do you see gentle, calm and peaceful faces smiling, looking brightly at each other, greeting each other in the streets? I do not see much. Or don’t go outside of your house. Just look inside. How is the environment? Is he happy? Or is carelessness, violence, anger and miscommunication lurking? I seem to hear your reply.
In fact, capitalism, the dominant style of production of the times we live in, has never been a concern of ‘happiness’. But now we as human being have finally faced severe unhappiness. But did capitalism rediscover happiness because it suddenly became humanist? Or is he now a ‘missionary of happiness’ due to the remorse of his past cruelties? The answer, as you can imagine, is no. Capitalism discovered happiness because it is marketable.
A happy salesperson sells more, a happy employee works more efficiently, a happy customer brings more profits, etc. So now happiness is an important part of the ‘business’. So we have to be strategically happy now. In this book you will find answers to many questions such as:
Why are we unhappy as a society?
How should our individual happiness attitude be?
Is a correct life possible in a crooked society?,
Can happiness be established even under these conditions ?
Can happiness be a form of opposition where the herd is unhappy?
(From the Public Bulletin)
Excerpts from the Book
We sowed insecurity saying ‘You won’t even trust your father in this era’; How can an insecure and paranoid society be happy?
We planted the seeds of hostility saying ‘The Turk has no friend other than the Turk’; How can a society fed by hatred and hostility be happy?
We planted the seeds of fascism by always ignoring the minority and applying majority domination, saying ‘in this country where 99% is Muslim’; How can a society that has not absorbed democracy and human rights be happy?
We sowed theft and climbed to the top of the world in corruption; How can a society where bribery and corruption is institutionalized be happy?
We broke a record in gender discrimination by saying “missing skirt”, “spoon enemy” to women; How can a society that makes women feel so worthless, beats and kills them, manage to be happy?
With the famous Turkish cunning, we made every job alaturka and we did it as it came to our job; Who can be happy with the cunning and so much fraud that we legitimize as practical intelligence?
We justified anger, violence, saying ‘Beating is out of heaven’; Can anyone speak of happiness for a society whose mother tongue is violence?
We raised vindictive generations outside of art and literature by calling artworks ‘freaks’; How can a society made up of people who have not studied art and literature be happy?
The ‘hierarchical’ order in which the most prickly, not the worthy and worthy one, can come out on top We have idolized the position and position with us. Can such a ‘hierarchical’ community organization produce happiness?
