Do you feel unhappy? Struggling to be positive? Apparently, just download an app, buy a book, or pay a few thousands for a course, and the joy of life will certainly arrive.

Manufacturing Happiness offers the view of philosophers, sociologists, economists, and psychiatrists diving deep to crack this disturbing modern phenomenon.
