Why are we so obsessed by the pursuit of happiness? With new ways tomeasure contentment we are told that we have a right to individual joy.But at what cost?

In an age of increasing individualism, we have never been more alone andmiserable. But what if the true nature of happiness can only be foundin others? In Radical Happiness, leading feminist thinker LynneSegal believes that we have lost the art of radical happiness- the artof transformative, collective joy. She shows that only in therevolutionary potential of coming together it is that we can come tounderstand the powers of flourishing.

Radical Happiness is a passionate call for the re-discovery ofthe political and emotional joy that emerge when we learn to share ourlives together.
