In 'The Hidden Pleasures of Life,' Theodore Zeldin invites us on a quest for a new art of living. How can one escape from boring work colleagues and organizations that thrive on stress? What new priorities can we give to our private lives? Exploring alternatives to the romantic ideal and strategies for cultivating affections, Zeldin offers a guide to finding satisfaction beyond wealth and ambition. This book raises essential questions about freedom, uncertainty, and the search for meaning in an ever-changing world.
