280 J. Budziszewski: How and How Not to be Happy

This week on RED-C Roundup our host Deacon Mike Beauvais visited with J. Budziszewski, professor of government and philosophy at the University of Texas, Austin, where he has taught since 1981. Professor Budziszewski specializes in ethics, political philosophy and the interaction of these two fields with religion and theology.  Deacon Mike first spoke with Professor Budziszewski about his new book, How and How Not to be Happy, in which he draws on decades of study to dispel the myths and wishful thinking that blind people from uncovering lasting fulfillment.  Deacon Mike‘s interview questions help J. Budziszewski explore his life history and his teaching experiences now, and how the listener can attain happiness—and just as importantly, how not to.
