In this book, William Ian Miller offers his reflections on the perverse consequences of so-called 'good things.' With wit and sensitivity, along with a large measure of fearless self-scrutiny, he points to and invites us to recognize the gloomy, neurotic, despondent tendencies of reasonably sentient humanity.
