Humans just want to be happy, yes? After all, that's what life's all about. Well ... no. It turns out that, for a huge chunk of history, feeling good was the furthest thing from our minds.

And why feeling bad may not actually be all that bad.…mehr

Autorenporträt
Eamon Evans is the author of fifteen books, one or two of them pretty good. He's written about history, sport, scandals, words, films, alcohol and urban legends, but until The Importance of Being Miserable he's not done much with his philosophy degree, apart from bore people at parties. Eamon lives with his family in Melbourne, where he writes, teaches, overwaters his garden and worries about going bald.
