Looking for Happiness in All the Wrong Places Holly Heald

From the moment we are born, we step onto a convey belt which propels us through life. Taking us from early childhood to young adulthood our experiences, families, friends and the education system teach us about the World and eventually in adulthood we join the race to succeed at life. The problem is that many of the ideas that are sold to us on the journey, are built on concepts such as economic growth that many of us don't really understand. Consequently, many of us have bought into ideas of the World and what it means to be successful and happy with little understanding of what it means and how it affects our lives, the lives of the people around us and our environment. Looking for Happiness in All the Wrong Places considers the question of happiness in the context of a World obsessed with economic growth and money, and how we may find true meaning and success in our lives that doesn't cost the World.
