Happy?: Exposing the Cultural Myths about Happiness

We live under a "yranny of happiness" says Wellington. Everyone insists that we can achieve greater happiness. But can we? To find out, Wellington considered masses of empirical data and interviewed a wide range of notable Australians like Rev Tim Costello, Bettina Arnt and Rolf Harris. He challenges our understanding of happiness and turns many cultural myths upside down. The book provides a fascinating analysis of our cultural milieu without the self-help snake oil.
