CONQUEST OF HAPPINESS by Bertrand Russell (English) Paperback Book

Description: CONQUEST OF HAPPINESS by Bertrand Russell, RUSSELL BERTRAND "Should be read by every parent, teacher, minister, and Congressman in the land."--The Atlantic FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In The Conquest of Happiness, first published by Liveright in 1930, iconoclastic philosopher Bertrand Russell attempted to diagnose the myriad causes of unhappiness in modern life and chart a path out of the seemingly inescapable malaise so prevalent even in safe and prosperous Western societies. More than eighty years later, Russells wisdom remains as true as it was on its initial release. Eschewing guilt-based morality, Russell lays out a rationalist prescription for living a happy life, including the importance of cultivating interests outside oneself and the dangers of passive pleasure. In this new edition, best-selling philosopher Daniel C. Dennett reintroduces Russell to a new generation, stating that Conquest is both "a fascinating time capsule" and "a prototype of the flood of self-help books that have more recently been published, few of them as well worth reading today as Russells little book." Author Biography Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) was born in England and educated at Trinity College, Cambridge. His long career established him as one of the most influential philosophers, mathematicians, and social reformers of the twentieth century. Daniel C. Dennett (1942-2024) was University Professor Emeritus at Tufts University and the author of numerous books, including Intuition Pumps and Other Tools for Thinking, Breaking the Spell, Darwins Dangerous Idea, and Consciousness Explained. Review He writes what he calls common sense, but is in fact uncommon wisdom. - The Observer Details ISBN087140673X Author RUSSELL BERTRAND Short Title CONQUEST OF HAPPINESS Publisher Liveright Publishing Corporation Language English ISBN-10 087140673X ISBN-13 9780871406736 Media Book Format Paperback DEWEY 170.44 Residence ENK Birth 1872 Death 1970 Imprint Liveright Publishing Corporation Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2013-08-05 NZ Release Date 2013-08-05 US Release Date 2013-08-05 UK Release Date 2013-08-05 Pages 224 Year 2014 Publication Date 2014-11-01 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
