Review of 'The conquest of happiness' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

I'm not happy. I'm grumpy. This book is so boring to me, half because philosophy books are usually too abstract to understand, half because the topic is not good for my status. I'm struggling to get a better position in society, which Russell is despised in this book. This strong conflict makes me think that this book is full of some rumblings by an old man lost of his passion. I cannot finish this book right now.

Maybe I'm wrong. I would love to reread this book in five years. I maybe change my opinion to this book.
