{"product_id":"the-happiness-myth-9780060859503","title":"The Happiness Myth: The Historical Antidote to What Isn't Working Today","description":"\u003cp\u003eHistorian Jennifer Michael Hecht looks at contemporary happiness advice, explains why much of it doesn't work, and why it drives us crazy and makes us miserable. Using a social\/pop-culture look at the world, she begins her inquiry through the lens of today's most oft perused paths towards attaining happiness - money, mood-managing drugs, knowledge, celebration, and bodies - and then reveals unsuspected insights about how these approaches have faired throughout history. With a new-found historical perspective, Hecht liberates us from the scolding, quasi-scientific messages that insist there's only one way to care for our minds and bodies. Rich with anecdotes about both failed and successful paths to happiness, Hecht traces a common thread of advice she calls 'our charm wisdom' that we can still apply today to create authentic, lasting happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41081192382670,"sku":"9780060859503","price":19.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/0883\/2974\/products\/9780060859503.jpg?v=1651140514","url":"https:\/\/www.bookxcess.com\/products\/the-happiness-myth-9780060859503","provider":"BookXcess","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
