The Art of Being Miserable

The Art of Being Miserable by Dirk de Wachtler... Our society today is all about more, better, and beyond—about the obsessive individual pursuit of happiness and collecting Instagram-worthy experiences. We aim for the highest peaks and rarely stop to consider that those peaks don''t fill the gap. We strive for happiness as a life goal and assume that the happiness we achieve makes our lives worthwhile. In doing so, we lose sight of the fact that what makes us briefly happy is often not what gives life true meaning. This book, with its constant sense of wonder, teaches us to consider what happiness could truly mean.
