The moral philosophy on which the book is based is "enlightened self-interest": a moral doctrine between mere selfishness and extreme self-sacrifice. This doctrine says that a person should not be purely selfish, nor should he completely sacrifice himself to the will of others; Rather, in the middle of the way, he should base his benefit on behaviors. But this philosophical position is a bit more complicated than this simple statement. The person is helped to accept after reflection that a. He is not an isolated taffeta and an exception being that the world serves him, b. But everyone should take the pragmatic position that he is the most important person by the way and therefore should strive for his own enjoyment of life, c. At the same time, he should realize that every human being is dependent on others and cannot only think about his own benefit and ignore others: one's benefit from life is tied to the benefit of others. Therefore, the moral position based on which the book is written is an attractive position, and since it constantly requires intellectual evaluation, it is clear that happiness, unlike conventional pleasures, cannot be achieved without reflection and thinking about life. But since our general public is not used to such reflections in our daily life, the author tries to provide a way to enter these reflections into our daily life with a simple expression. He tries a lot in this direction. The reader should follow the steps with patience. The author, who is a veteran behavior therapist, knows that it is very difficult to change the habits of working people, so he tries to create this change of attitudes in the audience little by little with all kinds of rhetorical and emotional tricks and giving concrete examples. So leave yourself in the hands of the author of the book and don't let the simplicity of the examples and stories told in the book hide the solid philosophical foundations that govern it, which are mainly based on the foundations of Aristotelian virtue ethics. This is the philosophical basis that distinguishes this book from other popular "motivational" books.
