<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong><em>"Should be read by every parent, teacher, minister, and Congressman in the land."―The Atlantic</em></strong></p><p>In <em>The Conquest of Happiness</em>, iconoclastic philosopher Bertrand Russell attempted to diagnose the myriad causes of unhappiness in modern life and chart a path out of the seemingly inescapable malaise so prevalent even in safe and prosperous Western societies. Eschewing guilt-based morality, Russell lays out a rationalist prescription for living a happy life, including the importance of cultivating interests outside oneself and the dangers of passive pleasure.</p>
