In 'Happiness is the Problem,' Pedro Vivar presents a thought-provoking analysis that challenges the prevailing societal narrative around the relentless pursuit of happiness. Vivar argues that our obsession with achieving a constant state of joy can paradoxically lead to increased anxiety and dissatisfaction. Instead of chasing an elusive ideal, the book encourages readers to re-evaluate their relationship with emotions, embrace discomfort, and find contentment in the present moment. This insightful work offers a refreshing perspective on mental well-being, urging individuals to question conventional wisdom and embark on a more authentic path towards inner peace, free from the pressures of perpetual bliss.
