{"product_id":"9781788167031","title":"The Sunny Nihilist : How a meaningless life can make you truly happy by Wendy Syfret","description":"Mindful nihilism is all about seeing yourself as an insignificant cog in the universe - and it works' Evening StandardIn an era defined by stress and selfishness, self-care, and obsessive individuality, emptiness can offer peace.   A balm for the soul of 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 our modern experience of work, love, religion and wider society, and asks whether a touch of upbeat nihilism could actually lighten our loads.   Making the case for rejecting the cult of purpose and accepting our un-importance in the universe as a positive reality, The Sunny Nihilist urges us to be cheerful in the face of it - because if nothing matters, we might as well be happy and good to each other.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43205566070962,"sku":"9781788167031","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/products\/9781788167031.jpg?v=1690714646","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781788167031","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
