Happiness, by Theodore Zeldin (used)

An exploration of happiness through history and philosophy.

One of those rare books that has the potential to alter the ways in which you conceive of things... a daring and ambitious work... visually arresting too, with livid, dreamlike qualities... Zeldin`s touch is as sound as the swift of laputa, and his satires on the worlds of finance and academe are superbly sustained
