In 'The Paradoxical Happiness', Gilles Lipovetsky delves into a profound analysis of the hyperconsumption society. This essay explores how the relentless pursuit of well-being and new emotional experiences has transformed the contemporary individual into a 'Homo consumericus'. Lipovetsky examines the infiltration of the consumer spirit into all aspects of life, from family relationships to culture and free time, revealing a disturbing paradox: despite the abundance of private pleasures, the modern individual faces a growing sense of helplessness. This book offers a lucid and nuanced view of the contradictions inherent in our hypermodern society.
Gilles Lipovetsky is a French philosopher, writer, and sociologist.
