"Should be read by every parent, teacher, minister... in the land." -The Atlantic

First published in 1930, The Conquest of Happiness is iconic philosopher Betrand Russell's must-read treatise on how to conquer the malaise of unhappiness, and prescription for how to live and enjoy a happy life. More than ninety years later, it is still as relevant today for all those who find modern life challenging and devoid of joy. Rusell's wisdom lays out for readers the importance of nurturing interests outside of oneself as well as the dangers of passive pleasure, making it uniquely relevant for today's reader living in a world under the influence of technology that enables passive pleasure to the detriment of genuine happiness. A note about the cover: When we strike an unhappy chord on the piano, we can always try again for a happy one. The same is true of life.
