What is happiness? Providing a mind-changing exploration of the inherent problems with our fixation on material possessions, control over our lives, and independence from others, New York Times bestselling author, Richard Eyre responds with a unique and engaging counterpoint on how to switch to the joy-giving alternatives of serendipity, stewardship, and interdependence, and thus live a more verdant and abundant life. Packaged in a unique "flip-over" format, the first half of The Happiness Paradox explores today's challenges to happiness, while the second half, when flipped over, explores The Happiness Paradigm: How A New View Can Turn Your Life Right-Side Up. One of the most unique books ever written about our search for lasting joy.(This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
