Book Reviews of Happiness: A History
Book Review: "Happiness: A History," by Darrin M. McMahon
Summary: 5 Stars
Professor McMahon's impressively researched historical work provides readers with a panoramic view of people's changing notions of "happiness". It is a heavy piece. Profound Startling. Written in a style that is both scholarly and lyrical.
It is intellectually provoking and definitely not for lazy minds who prefer popcorn literature.
A gem of a book!!!
