The Conquest of Happiness by Bertrand Russell

5.0

Surprisingly, this short philosophical treatis turned out to be one if not the best self-help book I've ever read. Packed with gems of insight traversing from the causes of unhappiness to the life of happy man, the book solidifies the ideal life as that of a life lived for others but still bounded by one's egoless pursuit of achievement, and the conscious managing of work, family, and external interests.
