Book excerpt: “Should be read by every parent, teacher, minister, and Congressman in the land.”—The Atlantic In The Conquest of Happiness, first published by Liveright in 1930, iconoclastic philosopher Bertrand Russell attempted to diagnose the myriad causes of unhappiness in modern life and chart a path out of the seemingly inescapable malaise so prevalent even in safe and prosperous Western societies. More than eighty years later, Russell’s wisdom remains as true as it was on its initial release. Eschewing guilt-based morality, Russell lays out a rationalist prescription for living a happy life, including the importance of cultivating interests outside oneself and the dangers of passive pleasure. In this new edition, best-selling philosopher Daniel C. Dennett reintroduces Russell to a new generation, stating that Conquest is both “a fascinating time capsule” and “a prototype of the flood of self-help books that have more recently been published, few of them as well worth reading today as Russell’s little book.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation Bertrand Russell was an influential British philosopher andmathematician. The Conquest of Happiness first published in1930 was Russell's guide on how to live a happy life. Although it was `of its time' it was also, certainly, aheadof its time. Russell's views were that true happiness couldonly be achieved through both personal thought and effort. Atrue self help classic before self help even existed. Here, Tim Phillip's interpretation of The Conquest of Happinessillustrates the timeless nature of Russell's insights bybringing them to life through 52 modern case studies. Thisbrilliant interpretation of The Conquest of Happiness is anentertaining accompaniment to one of the most famous bookson popular philosophy ever written.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most revered filmmakers of our time, Werner Herzog wrote this diary during the making of Fitzcarraldo, the lavish 1982 film that tells the story of a would-be rubber baron who pulls a steamship over a hill in order to access a rich rubber territory. Later, Herzog spoke of his difficulties when making the film, including casting problems, reshoots, language barriers, epic clashes with the star, and the logistics of moving a 320-ton steamship over a hill without the use of special effects. Hailed by critics around the globe, the film went on to win Herzog the 1982 Outstanding Director Prize at Cannes. Conquest of the Useless, Werner Herzog's diary on his fever dream in the Amazon jungle, is an extraordinary glimpse into the mind of a genius during the making of one of his greatest achievements.
