Happiness Is Overrated begins with an historical overview of the
development of the concept of 'happiness' from Plato to
contemporary writers, highlighting the best scholarship emerging
from philosophy, psychology, and sociology. Belliotti includes
practical advice on how to attain happiness and addresses issues
centered on the meaning of life. Happiness, he argues, is not the
greatest personal good, or even a great good in itself. In fact,
sometimes happiness isn't a good at all. If we pursue worthwhile,
exemplary lives and find happiness along the way, then we are
lucky. If we don't, then we can take pride and derive satisfaction
from a life well lived. Ultimately, the greatest personal good is
realized in leading a robustly meaningful, valuable life.
