When Happiness Feels Like a Stranger
What if the very things we chase - success, excitement, constant pleasure - are precisely what keep happiness at arm's length? A brilliant mathematician turned philosopher discovered this paradox through his own journey from contemplating suicide to finding genuine contentment. His insight was radical for 1930 and remains startling today: happiness isn't something that happens to you. It's something you systematically build, like solving an equation or constructing an argument. This isn't another feel-good manifesto promising instant joy. It's a clear-eyed examination of why so many people, despite material comfort, remain profoundly miserable - and what they can actually do about it.
