Synopsis

Many modern attempts at happiness seem to fall short, often leaving us stressed rather than joyful. Oliver Burkeman introduces a surprising alternative, drawing on wisdom from diverse thinkers across history and cultures. This book argues that our constant striving for happiness might be making us miserable, and true contentment lies in embracing failure, pessimism, and uncertainty. It's an intelligent guide to a counterintuitive path to a more fulfilling life.
