I very enjoyed this partial, all the topics were very interested, buy my favorite is "Happiness" because is shocking all the approaches that the people have to reach the happiness. Before read it, I believed that happiness was all about fun and cute things, but the "happiness" is more than that. There approaches to happiness like the fatalism, hopelessness and nihilism that make me think about the life and how we use it, in the other hand there is "Carpe diem" which is my favorite, because I believe that it is the best way to approach happiness, my ideal happiness.

Wrong ways out

"Addiction is when someone becomes dependent of something. When you try to escape from your reality using it. Avoiding problems letting the substance making you forget about everything."


ALCOHOL.
"Alcoholism is one of the most difficult addictions to overcome for the physical and psychological problems that it creates in the person."

EATING DISORDERS. (Bulimia, Anorexia, Obesity)
 "This just damage yourself, it doesn’t make anything better. So you have to be concerned that every eating disorder sickness has consequences."

EXERCISE.
"Exercising can be very good, but some people may take it way too serious to the point of harming themselves by completely exhausting their bodies."

GAMBLING.
"You can probably think that you are getting out of trouble, but this is bad, because you are getting addicted to bet, and you can lose your money and a lot of things. Things that are going to be hard to get back."

TOBACCO.
"When you smoke you feel good, but then when you finish you want to feel the same feeling again (also you started to feel bad and start to remember all those bad things), so you become addicted."

DRUGS. 
"They are a false scape, not real happiness. People don´t have all control of what they do when they are in drugs, and sometimes they regret of things that they do, and that they can’t remember. The drugs destroy the organism and sometimes people dies for their consumption."
