I Want You to Be Happy

Pope Francis' manifesto for the happiness of every man and woman.

God planted happiness in the souls of each of us. God wants us to be happy. But so many of us have misunderstood what this means, and we search for fulfilment in the wrong places. In I Want You To Be Happy, Pope Francis explains the characteristics of true, lasting happiness, no matter your circumstances or situation.

In this book, which quickly became his biggest bestseller in many years in Italy when it was published in 2022, Pope Francis shares wisdom and encouragement to help readers seek God's will and His best. The short, accessible chapters allow distill the message into bite-sized passages, and can be enjoyed all at once or in daily segments.
