Why should men have a monopoly on happiness?
Review Quotes (previous edition):
"An insightful observer, Gore notes that the things she thought might make her happy did not, and she notes further that a vast majority of books on happiness and positive psychology have been written by men...puzzled and intrigued by that... [she] began her own exploration of women’s happiness..." –The New York Times
“The study of happiness has become serious business. Gore finds the fact that virtually all its exponents are male intriguing and, to counterpoint such male domination, offers a female perspective…Thoughtful, funny, and inspiring...” –June Sawyers
Ariel Gore became fascinated with the increased study of human happiness; particularly of interest to Gore was the conclusion that many people had been making that "women with traditional values...those who had made 'an effort to expect less'--were more content than women with feminist values". Fuck Happiness is not only an in-depth study of women's happiness, but it is also a study of the lives of women, their desires, aspirations, and how joy fits into their lives in multifaceted ways.
