Can /lit/ suggest me books that will make me feel like life is beautiful? Basically the opposite of No Longer Human, Notes From Underground, Cioran's books etc.

this the only book i know that's optimistic and hopeful but not retarded

All Sisyphus' silent joy is contained therein. His fate belongs to him. His rock is a thing Likewise, the absurd man, when he contemplates his torment, silences all the idols. In the universe suddenly restored to its silence, the myriad wondering little voices of the earth rise up. Unconscious, secret calls, invitations from all the faces, they are the necessary reverse and price of victory. There is no sun without shadow,and it is essential to know the night. The absurd man says yes and his efforts will henceforth be unceasing. If there is apersonal fate, there is no higher destiny, or at least there is,but one which he concludes is inevitable and despicable. Forthe rest, he knows himself to be the master of his days. At that subtle moment when man glances backward over his life,Sisyphus returning toward his rock, in that slight pivoting he contemplates that series of unrelated actions which become his fate, created by him, combined under his memory's eye and soon sealed by his death. Thus, convinced of the wholly human origin of all that is human, a blind man eager to see who knows that the night has no end, he is still on the go. The rock is still rolling.I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain! One always findsone's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelitythat negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes thatall is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems tohim neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night filled mountain, in itself forms aworld. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy
