A paradox confronts us. While research and technology find new ways to measure contentment and popular culture encourages us to think of happiness as a human right, misery is abundant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSegal believes we have lost the art of “radical happiness”—the liberation that comes with transformative, collective joy. She argues that instead of obsessing about our own well-being we should seek fulfilment in the lives of others. Examining her own experience in the women’s movement, Segal looks at the relationship between love and sex, and the scope for utopian thinking as a means to a better future. She also shows how the gaps in care that come from the diminishing role of the welfare state must be replaced by alternative ways of living together and looking after one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this brilliant and provocative book, Segal proposes that the power of true happiness can only be discovered collectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLynne Segal\u003c\/b\u003e is Anniversary Professor of Psychology and Gender Studies in the Department of Psychosocial Studies at Birkbeck College.
