SUMMARY:New Books by BC Faculty Series: "The Pursuit of Success: A Philosophical Examination of Happiness\, Well-Being\, and Meaning in Life"
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we celebrate Professor Christine Vitrano’s The Pursuit of Success: A Philosophical Examination of Happiness\, Well-Being\, and Meaning in Life. \nThe book addresses our misguided assumptions about success\, which have led us to relentlessly pursue external goods and achievements at the expense of our own happiness. Vitrano defends the view that the key to living successfully is to find happiness\, arguing that everything else we typically associate with success is important only insofar as it contributes to happiness. She proposes that just as it is a mistake to associate success with external goods like wealth and material possessions\, it is also a mistake to place restrictions on how one finds happiness in life. \nChristine Vitrano is professor and chair of the Department of Philosophy at Brooklyn College\, CUNY. She is author of numerous articles and books\, including The Nature and Value of Happiness\, and Happiness and Goodness: Philosophical Reflections on Living Well\, which was co-written with Steven M. Cahn. Her latest book\, The Pursuit of Success: Philosophical Reflections on Happiness\, Well-being and Meaning in Life\, examines what it means to live a successful life.
