Description
"Horace Fletcher''s work Happiness As Found in Forethought Minus Fearthought is a self improvement book that sees Feltcher stray from his health food niche and tackle the subject of self-improvement. Fletcher is best known as an early American health food enthusiast, and is sometimes referred to as "The Great Masticator", a reference to his theory that humans should chew all of their food more thoroughly before being swallowed.
Fletcher''s primary hypothesis is that the object of all life is growth, and thus people that commit to personal development at all times can achieve happiness in every moment. After a brief introduction, Fletcher launches into a discussion of fear and the harmful effects fear has on people''s lives. The author then makes practical suggestions for overcoming fear in everyday life. A central theme of the book is the importance of being "present" in the current moment, and not trying to live life in either the past or future.
Happiness As Found in Forethought Minus Fearthought is an interesting and at times enlightening personal development book. While it may not appeal to all readers, those that see value in Fletcher''s teachings will find this to be a useful book and an important addition to their library.
