Opis

If we really want to be happier, what should we do differently? And what should we avoid doing? This is a mould-breaking book about what happiness is and how we can all have more of it.

Recenzje

Unorthodox, devastatingly straightforward and more provocative of actual thought than 90% of books said to be "thought-provoking". If happiness isn't a political issue, what's the point of politics? Andrew Marr
