Bertrand Russell Conquest of happiness

The Conquest of Happiness is Bertrand Russell's recipe for good living.

First published in 1930, it pre-dates the current obsession with self-help by decades.

Leading the reader step by step through the causes of unhappiness and the personal choices, compromises and sacrifices that (may) lead to the final, affirmative conclusion of `The Happy Man', this is popular philosophy, or even self-help, as it should be written.
