It includes practical advice on how to attain happiness, but argues that happiness is not the greatest personal good. Ultimately, the greatest personal good is realized in leading a robustly meaningful, valuable life.

"Ziyad Marar shows how the happiness we seek remains highly elusive, and that much of the energy devoted to searching for it is wasted, even self-defeating. He argues that happiness is a deceptively simple idea that will always be elusive because it is based on a paradox: caught between the need for adventure or self-expression on the one hand and the hope of appreciation or belonging on the other we suffer perpetually from too much or too little. We are riven by conflict in wanting to feel good while simultaneously trying to be good. It is the conflict, for example, between the desire to break rules in order to feel free, and the need to follow rules in order to feel justified. These tensions permeate what Freud called the two central aspects of a happy life: love and work."--BOOK JACKET.
