Altered Book by Nancy Strong

Nancy altered an old geography book while on an adventurous camping trip. The book is about six universal virtures as described by Martin Sleigman in his book "Authentic Happiness". Sleigman has written about a science that seeks to understand positive emotion, build strength and virtue, and provide guideposts for finding what Aristotle called the `good life,'

"Trying to fix weaknesses won't help, he says; rather, incorporating strengths such as humor, originality and generosity into everyday interactions with people is a better way to achieve happiness."

Nan has created her own road map for human emotion here with little windows that the reader opens that list the behaviors leading to the virtues shown on the page.
