Description from the seller
Bertrand Russell.
The Conquest of Happiness.
Published by: George Allen & Unwin Ltd, London- 1932.
The Conquest of Happiness is a work of practical philosophy by Bertrand Russell that diagnoses the causes of unhappiness in modern life and provides a rationalist prescription for achieving a fulfilled life. Russell, a Nobel laureate and influential analytic philosopher, wrote the book not as a profound philosophical treatise, but as a commonsense guide for those who are unhappy.
Russell's work distinguishes itself from modern self-help literature by eschewing feel-good platitudes and emphasizing that happiness requires deliberate effort. The book is divided into two main parts: "Causes of Unhappiness" and "Causes of Happiness"
