whipped up a frenzied pursuit of happiness, spawning billion-dollar book

or seek inner satisfaction via an app. The US army currently trains its
soldiers – over a million people – in positive psychology and optimism is
taught in UK schools. Meanwhile the ‘happiness index’ has become an
indicator of national wellbeing to rival GDP. |
