Why is it that the "advancements" of our modern lives actually hold us back from happiness? Haig examines the forces that make our minds ill--from the universal aspects of society like social media or even social inequality to more particular, individual habits like sleep and exercise (or lack thereof).The result is a book that brings warmth, honesty, and positivity to an often difficult subject.
