Media Reviews
Oliver James is excellent at showing why social scientists think that the surge in material affluence can produce the opposite of happiness. -- Avner Offer, Professor of Economic History, University of Oxford
Should be mandatory reading for everyone -- Will Self
Never before have I read a book that so precisely captures the way we are all being emotionally snookered by the demands of 21st-century living... read this book -- Jeremy Vine
A wonderfully clear and cogent thesis * Guardian *
An absorbing and effective wake-up call * London Lite *
as Oliver James's very important book demonstrates...he has thought about the problem a lot and he approaches it in a very winning fashion...he is consistently engaging in both his apercus and his occasionally eccentric asides -- Nick Lezard * The Guardian *
