Pope Francis' manifesto for the happiness of every man and woman.

God planted happiness in the souls of each of us. God wants us to be happy. But so many of us have misunderstood what this means, and we search for fulfilment in the wrong places. In I Want You To Be Happy, Pope Francis explained the characteristics of true, lasting happiness, no matter your circumstances or situation.

In this new book, which quickly became his biggest bestseller in many years in Italy when it was published in 2022, Pope Francis shared wisdom and encouragement to help readers seek God's will and His best. The short, accessible chapters distill the message into bite-sized readings, and can be read all at once or in daily segments.

This collection of inspiring pieces will encourage, inspire, and remind all readers that God cares and wants us to live and love well.

The first Pope of the Americas, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, hails from Argentina. The 76-year-old Jesuit Archbishop of Buenos Aires is a prominent figure throughout the continent, yet remains a simple pastor who is deeply loved by his diocese, throughout which he has travelled extensively on the underground and by bus during the 15 years of his episcopal ministry. He was born in Buenos Aires on 17 December 1936, the son of Italian immigrants. His father Mario was an accountant employed by the railways and his mother Regina Sivori was a committed wife dedicated to raising their five children. He graduated as a chemical technician and then chose the path of the priesthood, entering the Diocesan Seminary of Villa Devoto. On 11 March 1958 he entered the novitiate of the Society of Jesus. He completed his studies of the humanities in Chile and returned to Argentina in 1963 to graduate with a degree in philosophy from the Colegio de San José in San Miguel. From 1964 to 1965 he taught literature and psychology at Immaculate Conception College in Santa Fé and in 1966 he taught the same subject at the Colegio del Salvatore in Buenos Aires. From 1967-70 he studied theology and obtained a degree from the Colegio of San José. He was elected Supreme Pontiff on 13 March 2013 until his death in April 2025.
