In The Progress Paradox, Gregg Easterbrook draws upon three
decades of wide-ranging research and thinking to make the
persuasive assertion that almost all aspects of Western life
have vastly improved in the past century–and yet today, most
men and women feel less happy than in previous generations. Detailing the emerging science of “positive psychology,”
which seeks to understand what causes a person’s sense of
well-being, Easterbrook offers an alternative to our culture
of crisis and complaint. He makes a compelling case that
optimism, gratitude, and acts of forgiveness not only make
modern life more fulfilling but are actually in our
self-interest. An affirming and constructive way of seeing
life anew, The Progress Paradox will change the way you
think about your place in the world–and about our collective
ability to make it better.
