All That Happiness Is becomes a kind of call to respect the necessity and benefits of experiencing that sense of accomplishment and how once that happens, the work necessary to garner achievements comes more naturally . . . It took me maybe 20 minutes to read All That Happiness Is, not much of an achievement, but the full worth of a book isn't in how long we took to read it, but in how long it lingers in our lives. In this case, Gopnik has accomplished much.--John Warner "Chicago Tribune"

The longtime New Yorker writer waxes philosophical in this slim, aphoristic book . . . Thoughtful contemplations on the pursuit to be happy.-- "Kirkus Reviews"

This is one that every one of us--and recent graduates especially--needs to hear. In just 67 pages, New Yorker staff writer Adam Gopnik holds a mirror up to our achievement-obsessed world, bent on monetizing every hobby and accelerating every career move, and opens a door to a brighter future: one with accomplishment at its center . . . his overall argument is both humble and motivating. And the book is slim enough to fit in even the most cramped hatchback on move-out day!--Charley Burlock "Oprah Daily"
