About The Book

As human beings, we enter this world with nothing and leave with nothing. Between our birth and death, our life presents us with manifold opportunities and great challenges. According to best-selling author and spiritual teacher, Ryuho Okawa, we can either be attached to acquiring possessions and material goods, or we can seek the true path of happiness―paved by a love that gives rather than receives, that welcomes light rather than darkness―and which emulates the lives and qualities of great people who have lived with integrity, wisdom, and courage.

In The Starting Point of Happiness, Okawa beautifully illustrates how we can attain happiness and live a purposeful life. He counsels spiritual seekers to be strong when difficulties occur, to respect and love others, and to be in tune with the will of the universe. By doing this, we are walking on the path of happiness.

About The Author

Ryuho Okawa

Ryuho Okawa, a globally renowned best-selling author, revered World Teacher, and the founder and CEO of the Happy Science Group, was born on July 7, 1956, in Tokushima, Japan. From a young age, Okawa demonstrated remarkable self-discipline and humility, along with a strong desire to help others. His journey took a transformative turn in 1981 when he attained Great Enlightenment. Despite this profound experience, his humility remained unwavering, fueling his mission to share a universal Truth that unites spirituality, pragmatism, religion, and science into one cohesive source.

Okawa graduated from the University of Tokyo with a degree in law and began his career at a Tokyo-based trading company. He was soon assigned to the company's New York head office as a Finance Officer.

In 1986, Okawa left his prestigious career behind to establish Happy Science. Since then, the organization has grown into a global movement, with a presence in over 191 countries. Okawa has authored more than 3,300 books, which have been translated into 42 languages.
