Our interpretation of The Conquest of Happiness illustrates the timeless nature of RussellOCOs insights by bringing them to life through over 50 modern case studies. This brilliant interpretation of The Conquest of Happiness is an entertaining accompaniment to one of the most famous books on popular philosophy ever written."
