Radical Happiness: Moments of Collective Joy by Lynne Segal

2.0

I really wanted to love this book, but it was not what I needed it to be. This read like a very long literature review. She touched on many many sources, but didn’t delve deep enough into the subject matter. Without reading the sources she mentions, you don’t get that much out of this book. The first 2 chapters were bland and boring, the middle 4 were ok, and the last one was long and boring. I wouldn’t classify this as a book about happiness, but rather a review of why we as a society are not happy. That would be fine if she had touched even a bit on how to achieve collective happiness but unfortunately that doesn’t happen. Overall a disappointing read.
