«La euforia perpetua» is the philosophical essay by Pascal Bruckner, published by Tusquets Editores S.A. in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
Bruckner examines the transformation of the idea of happiness: from Greek eudaimonia, linked to self-mastery and the absence of pain, to the modern obligation to be happy, imposed by advertising and a trivialized Buddhism. The essay criticizes this pressure that marginalizes those who suffer and defends the joy of knowing how to live.
Originally published in 2001, it is part of Tusquets' Ensayo collection, number 47.
Aimed at readers interested in philosophy, the history of ideas and contemporary social criticism.
Pascal Bruckner is a French writer, one of the "New Philosophers" who came to prominence in the 1970s and 1980s. Much of his work has been devoted to critiques of French society and culture.
