Summary
In an era defined by stress and selfishness， self-care， and obsessive individuality， emptiness can offer peace。
A balm for the soul of burnt-out Millennials - disillusioned with the search for meaning through career success， a beautiful life and a beautiful Instagram account - The Sunny Nihilist explains why achievement has not made us happy。 Looking anew at a philosophy usually associated with grumpy pessimists， writer Wendy Syfret examines our modern experience of work， love， religion and wider society， and asks whether a touch of upbeat nihilism could actually lighten our loads。
Making the case for rejecting the cult of purpose and accepting our un-importance in the universe as a positive reality， The Sunny Nihilist urges us to be cheerful in the face of it - because if nothing matters， we might as well be happy and good to each other。

It was an easy weekend read that made me feel a bit better about some parts of life。 There wasn't a lot of depth in most of the topics mentioned and it was pretty focused a specific stereotypical millennial lifestyle。 Happy I read it but I was hoping for a bit more substance。 It was an easy weekend read that made me feel a bit better about some parts of life。 There wasn't a lot of depth in most of the topics mentioned and it was pretty focused a specific stereotypical millennial lifestyle。 Happy I read it but I was hoping for a bit more substance。 。。。more

Wendy has put into words the slow epiphany I have experienced over the last two years as a result of being in my 30s， Covid-19 and the realisation I no longer wanted to be a working bee。 Growing up in this world， many of us buy into the ideals of how to live our lives to make it worthwhile when those ideals no longer serve us。 This book offers a refreshing view to the age old question of 'what does it all mean？' and is a funny and liberating read。 Wendy has put into words the slow epiphany I have experienced over the last two years as a result of being in my 30s， Covid-19 and the realisation I no longer wanted to be a working bee。 Growing up in this world， many of us buy into the ideals of how to live our lives to make it worthwhile when those ideals no longer serve us。 This book offers a refreshing view to the age old question of 'what does it all mean？' and is a funny and liberating read。 。。。more
