| The timeless philosophical text about creating a joyful life by overcoming limited beliefs and egotism, from the Nobel Prize–winning author. Despite living in nations where basic needs are met—even surpassed—and where an abundance of modern conveniences have reduced dangerous physical labor, people suffer from an affliction of despair. Beliefs and habits taught in childhood about what to value and how to behave have hindered generations from embracing the joys that life has to offer. Concerns with wealth, social status, and morality create personal anxieties. Brooding about mistakes and fears closes people off from the opportunities and companionship that inspire an enthusiastic outlook even in times of adversity. Originally published in 1930, renowned philosopher Bertrand Russell's The Conquest ofHappiness explores the roots of the unhappiness epidemic and shares strategies on combating worrying, pessimistic, and self-absorbed thoughts that serve no purpose beyond inducing misery. Pursuing a fulfilling life requires disciplined effort to nurture pleasurable interests and activities beyond self-gratification, such as those that encourage curiosity in the outside world and foster connections with friends and family. Optimistic and life-affirming, Russell's philosophy continues to offer an antidote for everyone struggling with insecurities and seeking ways to find meaning and purpose in life. "Should be read by every parent, teacher, minister, and Congressman in the land." ―The Atlantic |
