Everyone's Happy, Hörbuch, Digital, 58min
From the critically acclaimed author of The Knockout Queen and The Girls from Corona del Mar comes a darkly humorous story that charts the unlikely friendship of two women and exposes the absurdity of everything from playground drama to marriage to Goodreads reviews. Motherhood has turned out to be a lot weirder and lonelier than Mary anticipated - has the world gone crazy, or has she? Most of the time, it feels like both. But when her oldest starts kindergarten, Mary meets another mom, Fiona, and the two form an unusual yet exhilarating friendship. There’s only one problem: Mary doesn’t really like Fiona’s husband, Andreas. What begins as a minor irritation keeps intensifying and changing shape in Mary’s mind as Andreas’s perceived wrongdoings pile up, until she can’t distinguish integrity from self-sabotage. Everyone’s Happy is both an unnervingly honest examination of the shifting loyalties between family and friendship and a love letter to the absurd banalities of suburban life. Language: English.

Lurching Toward Happiness in America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 144min
The promise of America has long been conceived as the promise of happiness. Being American is all about the opportunity to pursue one's own bliss. But what is the good life, and are we getting closer to its attainment? In the cacophony of competing conceptions of the good, technological interventions that claim to help us achieve it and rancorous debate over government's role in securing it for us, every step toward happiness seems to come with at least one step back. In Lurching Toward Happiness in America, acclaimed sociologist Claude Fischer explores the data, the myths, and history to understand how far America has come in delivering on its promise. Are Americans getting lonelier? Is the gender revolution over? Does income shape the way Americans see their life prospects? In the end, Fischer paints a broad picture of what Americans say they want. And, as he considers how close they are to achieving that goal, he also suggests what might finally get them there. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Pratt.
