However, that apart, the range and breadth of learning on display in this book is combined with a chatty style which makes it an easy and delightful read. Krznaric has a genuine skill in examining aspects of life that most people take for granted and he can make the reader look at them again from a new and fresh angle. His findings are often highly illuminating. Finally, I would have to thank anyone who introduced me to the blissful Greek verb ‘katapepaiderastekanai’ which means ‘to have squandered an estate through hopeless devotion to boys’.
If this book appeals then you might like to try [[On Kindness by Adam Phillips and Barbara Taylor]]or [[The Happy Life: The Search for Contentment in the Modern World by David Malouf]].
