American Happiness And Discontents by George F. Will
A reflective, essayistic examination of why Americans often seem both prosperous and restless, arguing that material success, cultural shifts, and political changes have produced paradoxes in the nation’s pursuit of happiness; the book traces historical and philosophical roots of American optimism and anxiety, explores how civic virtues, institutions, and personal responsibility interact with contemporary therapies, entitlement, and political ideologies, and contends that renewing attentiveness to character, limits, and the common goods of republican self-government is essential to addressing modern discontents.
