Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Most of us are living with a quiet, persistent sense that we're falling short of something. Not in crisis. Not obviously unhappy. Just never quite arrived. This book is about why that happens, and what to do about it. Drawing on psychology, philosophy, and honest observation, it examines the machinery that keeps us dissatisfied: the hedonic treadmill that resets our happiness after every achievement, the comparison instinct that evolved for villages and now runs on a global feed of curated highlights, the arrival fallacy that promises contentment at the next milestone and never delivers. But this isn't a book about lowering your standards. What it offers is more demanding than that - the work of separating what you actually value from what you've absorbed and never questioned. It looks at the difference between pleasure and meaning, at why relationships predict life satisfaction better than any achievement, at what money genuinely buys and where it stops helping, and at how to hold ambition without being consumed by it. Warm, honest, and free of easy answers. For anyone who suspects the life they're chasing may not be the one that would actually satisfy them. This item is printed on demand.
