Bertrand Russell's Conquest of Happiness provides a lucid commentary on the causes of happiness and unhappiness. Though it was written in 1930, its material is still relevant today. Russell writes in a clear, authoritative voice; he indulges in detailed explorations of each scenario he presents, fleshing out each possibility and presenting insights for the reader.

It is beyond belief how under-appreciated this book is. As a reviewer said, this book should be regarded as modern day bible. I have truly learned so much from the brilliant brilliant Bertrand Russell.

Did not want to put it down. It was such a great read and in-depth learning. Russell's flow of knowledge with a way of NOT over doing it with losing you in thought and taking you on a philosophical adventure is brilliant and polite. Although written around the beginning of the 20th century, relevancy still holds its ground in 95% of the book with today's unhappiness ways of life. I suggest this book for anyone looking for a good read, to be enlightened and to obtain a better understanding of what does and does not make you happy. You think you know, but then you re-examine ;)
