The Conquest of Happinessis Bertrand Russell’s recipe for good living. Leading the reader step by step through the causes of unhappiness and the personal choices, compromises and sacrifices that (may) lead to the final, affirmative conclusion of 'The Happy Man' , this is popular philosophy, or even self-help, as it should be written. First published in 1930, it pre-dates the current obsession with self-help by decades. This brilliant interpretation of The Conquest of Happiness is an entertaining accompaniment to one of the most famous books on popular philosophy ever written. Here, Tim Phillip's interpretation of The Conquest of Happiness illustrates the timeless nature of Russell's insights by bringing them to life through 52 modern case studies.
