The Poisonous Illusion of Happiness : Escaping the trap of perpetual pleasure and finding real fulfillment

This book provides a realistic roadmap to finding true meaning and fulfillment by disputing the idea that happiness should be the primary goal in life. It argues that setting out to pursue happiness only leads to frustrations, sadness, and dissapointness that eventually result in anxiety and depression. Those who actively seek happiness fall into the snares of hedonism, which drains their real life and value. The book suggests that small positive actions with a clear sense of purpose are the primary foundations for finding meaning in life.
