Publisher's Synopsis
A Life Less Punishing is Matt's distilled wisdom on how to live a good life, where he takes several common emotions and unpacks why we feel this way and how we can change it, interspersed with personal anecdotes, plus research taken from philosophy, psychology, and interviews with experts. Each chapter takes a different emotion/reaction/concern - anger, dissatisfaction, fear, loneliness, feeling offended, stress, humiliation, greed, annoyance, boredom, worry, grief, aimlessness - and Matt unpacks why we suffer from them and how to reframe our reactions and turn them on their heads, all in aid of living a happier life. Written with Matt's trademark humour and hard-won insight, this is the perfect book for anyone who wonders if there is more to the life they are currently leading.
