Autocracy, Diplomacy
And Peacebuilding
In Africa
£17.99

The Age Of Absurdity:
Why Modern Life Makes
It Hard To Be Happy
£6.99
The good news is that the great thinkers from history have proposed the same strategies for happiness & fulfilment The bad news is that these turn out to be the very things most discouraged by contemporary culture This knotty dilemma is the subject of The Age of Absurdity- a wry & accessible investigation into how the desirable states of wellbeing & satisfaction are constantly undermined by modern life Michael Foley examines the elusive condition of happiness common to philosophy spiritual teachings & contemporary psychology then shows how these are becoming increasingly difficult to apply in a world of high expectations The common challenges of earning a living maintaining a relationship & ageing are becoming battlegrounds of existential angst & self-loathing in a culture that demands conspicuous consumption high-octane partnerships & perpetual youth In conclusion rather than denouncing & rejecting the age Foley presents an entertaining strategy of not just accepting but embracing today's world
