People universally tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck or something that will maybe descend upon you like fine weather. That's not how happiness works. Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it.

Hummm, read the book but don't recall the quote. Even thought not a huge fan of the book I think I like and agree with the quote.
There are definitely gems (like that) in that book.
I really didn't love the book. Watered-down spirituality without a lot of real depth. But. I like this quote. Quite a bit.
