Review title: gloriously obvious
Product review: Essentially a self-help book written by the hypereminent philosopher Bertrand Russell. I have not read any other self-help books I don't think but from what I know this one is completely different: well-thought out, insightful and completely lacking in poppy answers. My real pleasure was getting an insight into Russell's way of thinking, his humour, his zest for life, his outlook which may seem simple or naive but is in my opinion far superior to most.The book is very dated - from the 1930s. However the advice is not - in fact I have nothing but admiration for how far ahead of his time Russell was. Those few actually-dated passages only serve to endear the book more.Heartily recommended. Contrary to popular belief, it often takes nothing short of genius to state the obvious, especially if an entire society is blinded to it. In the Conquest of Happiness, Russell does exactly that.
