Why are so many comfortable people quietly unhappy, and what can be done about it? Bertrand Russell answers with clear-eyed good sense, tracing boredom, envy, fatigue, and worry to their roots and pointing the way out toward zest, affection, and useful work. He writes as a friend, not a preacher, and his cures are practical. One of the most readable happiness books ever written, from a Nobel mind at his warmest.
