About
In this book, Richard Eyre, contends that the three things today's society desires most-control, ownership, and independence- are, paradoxically, what bring the most discouragement and unhappiness in our lives.
Providing a mind-changing exploration of the inherent problems with our fixation on material possessions, control over our lives, and independence from others, Eyre responds with a unique and engaging counterpoint on how to switch to the joy-giving alternatives of serendipity, stewardship, and interdependence and thus live a more verdant and abundant life. The first half, The Happiness Paradox, explores today's challenges to happiness. The second half explores, The Happiness Paradigm: How A New View Can Turn Your Life Right-Side Up, and walks us through a mental paradigm shift that can change our lives and our search for lasting joy.
