What really brings happiness to life?

 

A recently released study, which took 85 years to be completed, aimed exactly to answer the question that gives the title to this text. After all, what really brings people happiness? Carried out by researchers from Harvard, in the USA, the study and its conclusions are mentioned by Cássio Leonardo Carrara, from Matão-SP, in the special The key to happiness, one of the highlights of this edition.


Another highlight is the interview given to us by Álvaro Pinto de Arruda, from São Paulo-SP. He was born in Bauru, a country city of São Paulo, our interviewee tells us about his life experiences and, in particular, about his coexistence with the writer and speaker Richard Simonetti and the book he recently released about the spiritist thought of the late writer.


November 2023 marked the release of the film “Benedita: an invisible heroine. The legacy of overcoming”, about the life and work of Benedita Fernandes. The production is a mix of documentary and dramatization, created to celebrate the 140th anniversary of the birth of the notable spiritist pioneer, as shown in a special article written by Sirlei Nogueira, from Araçatuba-SP.
