Description

In an illuminating study of the state of the world, the author of The Here and Now explores the question of societal progress to explain why, despite strong evidence that the quality of life has improved dramatically, many people refuse to believe it, discussing the new science of positive psychology, the fad for victimhood, fears engendered by 9/11, and other important topics. Reprint. 25,000 first printing.
