Mutsuz Olmak

We live in an age where people are convinced that they should be happy all the time. Newspapers, books, billboards and advertising spots have exhausted everything that can be said about happiness... Being happy has become perceived as a duty, a duty, and this perception alone has become a significant source of stress for people. We have literally begun to live under the domination of the "dictatorship of happiness". Wilhelm Schmid says that happiness is given too much meaning and takes a position in favor of unhappiness in his book.

What are the reasons for the happiness hysteria that keeps breaking out? How do the happiness formulas we encounter on different channels almost every day actually affect us? Does "trying" to be happy make individuals and society more unhappy? Is being successful a must for a happy life? What does it mean to live a beautiful and meaningful life? Is unhappiness a modern plague from which we must flee as soon as we realize it is approaching? How does coping with unhappiness enrich our lives and personalities? Philosopher and "happiness researcher" Wilhelm Schmid, whose books have been translated into fifteen languages around the world, encourages readers to accept life as a whole with its ups and downs in Being Unhappy, while promising a fulfilling and meaningful life in return.
