Books by Ziyad Marar

Most of us think we are about 15 per cent cleverer, more attractive and better drivers than others think we are. Drawing on insights from philosophy, psychology and literature, this work explores the implications for living well in the shadow of Kant's humbling thought that "out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made".

A thoughtful, philosophical and cultural approach to the perennial question of the search for happiness.
