The Happiness Industry: How the Government and Big Business Sold Us Well-Being by William Davies

3.0

read for soc 4280 - was really excited about this book at the start, but it was like the author got too excited to talk about the origins of modern capitalism and the way we historically root modern ideas of mental health in utilitarianism that he rushed through how it translates in modern day. still a very interesting read, and i appreciate the conversational tone
