Author: John F. Schumaker

Format: Paperback

Number of Pages: 287


This is a book about the thing that everybody wants. Tracing the history of happiness from its prehistoric origins to its current super-commercialised form in an age of mass consumerism and epidemic depression, In Search of Happiness aims to answer the question: What is happiness? Drawing from the sciences and the arts, John F. Schumaker constructs a new definition of a much-used but poorly understood term. The result is startling and ultimately inspiring - a highly readable blueprint for seeking and finding genuine happiness, both as individuals and as a society.
