Back in Your Own Backyard

Being the head of the household is a massive responsibility when you have to look over your shoulder for eight children as well as a buoyant marriage. Mr. Focaccia is the man everyone comes to for advice about a situation, a particular dilemma, and a good time.

His story comes full circle, from being judged by others and having to overcome that obstacle, to having to break his own perceptual set (the tendency to perceive things only in certain ways and to sometimes overlook contradicting information).

In this essay, I will walk through Aristotle, Berry, and Day, and decide whether I agree or disagree. Then, I will give my own personal view on happiness. ARISTOTLE: Aristotle was an Ancient Greek philosopher who was taught by Plato, and taught Alexander the Great.
