The sunny nihilist : how a meaningless life can make you truly happy
Syfret, Wendy2022
Books
Nihilism is making a comeback, and for younger generations the idea that existence is meaningless is cause for celebration, not despair. Written directly for burnt-out Millennials disillusioned with the search for meaning through career success, a beautiful life and a beautiful Instagram account, 'The Sunny Nihilist' explains why achievement has not made us happy. Looking anew at a philosophy usually associated with grumpy pessimists, writer Wendy Syfret examines how meaning pervades our modern experience of work, love, religion and wider society, and asks whether a touch of upbeat nihilism could actually lighten our loads.
