Is there someone in your life who's just too happy? You know, that person who's been wearing a sparkly reindeer sweater to the office every day since Thanksgiving...who began addressing his Christmas cards in October...who doesn't realize that "Jingle Bell Rock" is the leading cause of atheism?
That person clearly needs a copy of A Talent for Sadness. For maximum effect, we also recommend Jean-Paul Pecqueur's The Case Against Happiness. Just because we care. But not too much.
