Summary:

In 2014, when the Russian-Latvian radio talk-show host Aleks Dubas started asking his celebrity guests to describe a personal “moment of happiness” in their lives, the results were unexpectedly frank and exhilarating. Soon the project expanded to include submissions from 2 million listeners. This book holds a collection of dozens of mini-stories about human joy, ranging from diver’s first beholding of the underwater world, to a mother’s revelation in sign language, to a Russian rock star’s rousing concert in Ukraine. As Aleks puts it, “this book is a distillation – and a catalyst – of intense happiness.”
