Bertrand Arthur William Russell,18 May 1872–2 February 1970) was a British philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, writer, social critic and political activist. At various points in his life he considered himself a liberal, a socialist, and a pacifist.
In the early 20th century, Russell led the British "revolt against idealism".He is considered one of the founders of analytic philosophy along with his predecessor Gottlob Frege, colleague G. E. Moore, and his protégé Ludwig Wittgenstein. He is widely held to be one of the 20th century's premier logicians.With A. N. Whitehead he wrote Principia Mathematica, an attempt to create a logical basis for mathematics. His philosophical essay "On Denoting" has been considered a "paradigm of philosophy". His work has had a considerable influence on logic, mathematics, set theory, linguistics, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and philosophy, especially the philosophy of language, epistemology, and metaphysics.

Thoroughly satisfying

Bertrand Russell's Conquest of Happiness provides a lucid commentary on the causes of happiness and unhappiness. Though it was written in 1930, its material is still relevant today. Russell writes in a clear, authoritative voice; he indulges in detailed explorations of each scenario he presents, fleshing out each possibility and presenting insights for the reader.

Daniel H. Shubin

Excellent. Most people have a reason to be happy ...

A person reading this book would never guess it was written back in 1930 in England. He wrote it to draw people out of the depressive state due to the effects of economic depression in England at the time. All he writes is just as applicable today and in every decade since. Excellent. Most people have a reason to be happy but just do not know how to be; what we find as depressive is often not so much, compared with the reasons for our happiness that do surround us and which we need to recognize and incorporate into our life. It is not a lengthy book and can be read in a few hours.

Easy to read philosoophy book, though written in 1930 seems like current times

Philosopher Russell wrote this book in 1930, but most of the book could have been written in current days. Enjoyed reading the book and found it informative and helpful.

Intelligent, if somewhat long-winded

Verified Purchase

Russell’s analysis of the man aspects and caveats of happiness (and unhappiness) are wise, he makes many points that will stick with the reader as he looks back at his own life. Although written in modern English - which can make this work of philosophy somewhat more accessible - his discussions can be long and drawn out, in some chapters to the point of tedium. Recommended, although not always a relaxing read.

Everything is better with Bertrand

Bought this for a friend on his birthday, so I can’t say for sure how it is. But the book appeared to be well made and with crisp, clear printing. Plus, it’s Bertrand Russell, and everything is better with Bertrand.

Recipe for a better life

August 25, 2015

Verified Purchase

Conquest of happiness is Betrand Russell's contribution to the difficult task of understanding how to be happier. He covers most aspects of an adult's life and gives some useful advice on dealing with everyday problems.
The goal, as the title mentions, is somewhat 'challenging'. I seriously doubt that anyone can conquer happiness by reading this book, but the intentions are noble.

I can only wish I had read this book a few decades earlier, although I still benefited from reading it now. I just ordered two copies for my sons, one of whom is also a mathematician, like Russell. Hope they will read the book, as it will definitely help them in life.

A powerful and inspiring read.

This is a powerful and inspiring read. Bertrand Russell's personal story is fully as interesting as the practical advice he sets down for us here – and this book is filled to overflowing with practical advice for living a happy and fulfilled life. Very highly recommended.
