In celebration of International Day of Happiness, Ruskin Bond, one of India’s most cherished authors, on Friday launched the book, ‘What Makes Us Happy’ published by Natraj Publishers, Dehradun.
At the book launch in the hill resort of Mussoorie, Bond advised people to remain connected with nature which he said was a powerful source of happiness. “This delightful picture book offers a guide for both parents and children to find joy together,” the celebrated author said.
Bond stressed the need for meaningful conversations with children:
“We must talk to them about what true happiness really means. Without this, they risk being led astray by a materialistic, competitive culture.” Bond believes that this joyful, practical, and poetic book will inspire both adults and children to reflect on what truly enriches life, steering
them toward real, lasting happiness.
Upendra Arora, the owner of the Natraj Publishers, thanked Bond for giving his valuable time for the book launch.
