A paradox confronts us. While research and technology find new ways to measure contentment and popular culture encourages us to think of happiness as a human right, misery is abundant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSegal believes we have lost the art of \"radical happiness\"--the liberation that comes with transformative, collective joy. She argues that instead of obsessing about our own well-being we should seek fulfilment in the lives of others. Examining her own experience in the women's movement, Segal looks at the relationship between love and sex, and the scope for utopian thinking as a means to a better future. She also shows how the gaps in care that come from the diminishing role of the welfare state must be replaced by alternative ways of living together and looking after one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this brilliant and provocative book, Segal proposes that the power of true happiness can only be discovered collectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lynne Segal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786631555\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786631558\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.10w x 1.10d","brand":"Lynne Segal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43979684577535,"sku":"9781786631558","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_99e9b01f-001a-4918-bf33-85b994c308ea.jpg?v=1683246500","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/radical-happiness-lynne-segal-9781786631558","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
