In Search of Happiness: Understanding an Endangered State of Mind

by John F. Schumaker

Tracing the history of happiness from its prehistoric origins to its current super-commercialized form in an age of mass consumerism and epidemic depression, "In Search of Happiness" constructs a new definition of this overused and poorly understood term. The result is a deep, startling, and ultimately inspiring and highly readable blueprint for seeking and finding genuine happiness, both as individuals and as a society.

[Jarom · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nails the difference between being content and happiness. Discusses materialism being a bestseller for discontentment as a marketing tool. 10/10 would recommend!

[Adrian Mendoza · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book provides a thorough response to the modern reader's inquiries on happiness: one that encourages discourse that encapsulates modernity and development. Most of the concepts in the book will sound familiar, but it contains a rich tapestry of history, philosophy and literature that may cause readers to take the ubiquity of this advice as proof of its potency.
