Happy Ever After: A Radical New Approach to Living Well

Challenging societal myths for true happiness.

"Happy Ever After" isn't just a feel-good read; it's a thought-provoker that dares to question the conventional narratives we're spoon-fed about happiness and success. If you've ever felt like the traditional markers of a good life—like marriage, career milestones, or even longevity—don't quite fit your personal outlook, Professor Dolan's research-backed insights might just validate your experiences and encourage you to embrace your unique path to contentment.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A passionate, provocative book. Not just a self-help book, but a manifesto for a better society. Sunday Times. Smart, engaging and funny. It will make you question everything you think you know about what you want. Caroline Criado Perez, author of Invisible Women. Be ambitious; find everlasting love; look after your health. There are countless stories about how we ought to live our lives. These narratives can make our lives easier, and they might sometimes make us happier too. But they can also trap us and those around us. In Happy Ever After, bestselling happiness expert Professor Paul Dolan draws on a variety of studies ranging over wellbeing, inequality and discrimination to bust the common myths about our sources of happiness. He shows that there can be many unexpected paths to lasting fulfilment. Some of these might involve not going into higher education, choosing not to marry, rewarding acts rooted in self-interest and caring a little less about living forever. By freeing ourselves from the myth of the perfect life, we might each find a life worth living.
