Every wisdom tradition converges on the same strategies for happiness. Modern culture discourages exactly those.
That knot is the whole book: Michael Foley’s wry tour (Simon & Schuster, 2010, bestseller in seven languages) through what philosophy, spiritual teachings and contemporary psychology agree on, and how a world of entitlement, high expectations and constant stimulation structurally undermines it.
Cover blurb that sells it honestly: “Not the usual cleverclogs claptrap.”
Same shelf as The Perfection Trap and the attention books (Inmune a la distracción): the diagnosis side of the wellbeing problem.
