In "How to Become Unavoidably Happy," psychiatrist and psychotherapist Manfred Lütz explores the complex topic of happiness and the addiction to happiness. With a humorous yet profound approach, he guides readers through the history of philosophy and its views on happiness. Lütz not only presents his own perspective but also offers practical ways to lead a fulfilling and happy life. Through astonishing stories and compelling arguments, he encourages readers to reflect and takes them on a journey to their own happiness. This book is an invitation to engage with one's own ideas of happiness and to question the often misleading paths that many people take. In the end, the question remains why so many fall for supposed promises of happiness that ultimately cannot be fulfilled.
