Can Contemporary Man Be Truly Happy?

This thought-provoking and challenging book aims to stimulate readers to understand and work towards true happiness.

Within these pages, London-based author Michael Joseph Scanlon issues a searching critique of the postmodern world, and its ways of thinking and operating, from the viewpoint of traditional spirituality. It contrasts this with earlier times and traditional civilisations that lasted many centuries before colonialism and then globalisation. It ends by outlining how true happiness looks in today's world.

Says the author, "My creativity operates in bite-sized awarenesses. The challenge was taking these nuggets and weaving them into a consistent, cohesive tapestry that flowed in such a way as to transport the reader on an unusual, but still vital journey."
