´You won´t need to read another self-help book again...The self-help book to end all self-help books´ Guardian

What is the secret behind happiness?

In an attempt to find out, Burkeman tackles a range of subjects from stress, procrastination, laughter, time management and creativity. It´s a subject that has occupied some of the greatest philosophers of all time, from Aristotle to Paul McKenna. But how do we sort the good ideas from the terrible ones? Over the past five years, Oliver Burkeman has delved deep into the ´happiness industry.´ Witty and thought-provoking, Help! doesn´t claim to have solved the problem of human happiness, but it might just bring us one step closer.
