The Happy Depressive: In Pursuit of Personal and Political Happiness by Alastair Campbell
As the UK government conducts its first happiness survey, Alastair Campbell looks at happiness as a political as well as a personal issue;
Through exploring what happiness is, where it comes from, what it stands for and how it can be created and maintained both personally and politically, Alastair reveals a side of himself that many readers have probably never seen before or didn't know even existed-- Ilona Burton * Mind Blog *
