Presents 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 Dubas puts it, ""this book is a distillation - and a catalyst - of intense happiness.

A popular Russian radio host asked his listeners to describe a moment of happiness. This book is those moments, in the voices of Dubas's fellow countrymen from the breadth and depth of today's Russia.
