[[File:Metaphysics of Real Happiness.jpg|thumb]]
==Book Description==
‘All [[philosophy]] is a [[metaphysics]] of happiness…or it’s not worth an hour of trouble’ claims [[Alain]] [[Badiou]] in this lively [[intervention]] into one of the most persistent themes in philosophy: what is happiness? And what do I [[need]] to do to be happy? The [[desire]] to be happy is one of our most [[universal]] goals and yet there doesn’t seem to be any easy answers or [[formulas]] for achieving happiness. And the [[concept]] has become so commodified and corrupted to be almost unrecognizable as something worth pursuing. In light of this, should we just give up the aspiration to be happy altogether? [[Alain Badiou]] thinks not.
While eschewing futile procedures for magically becoming ‘happy’, Badiou does passionately maintain that in [[order]] to be truly happy we need philosophy. And, bolder still, that a [[life]] lived philosophically is the happiest life of all!
