After the successful December lecture on the culture of ancient Egypt, New Acropolis Banská Bystrica organized another lecture for patients of the National Rehabilitation Center in Kováčová on January. The topic was interesting and also actual: Happy New Year. Together they  was talking about what is happiness, how to get it, how to keep it and not just for one year, what is the difference between “being lucky” and “being happy”. We looked for answers in the thoughts of wise people from different cultures and seasons, and found that most of them agreed that true happiness is “a matter of personal choice.”
