Summary
Everyone wants to be happy and everyone fantasize the tantalizing promise of happiness. Happiness can be attained by sexual liberation, which sexual revolution led by the unconventional Wilhelm Reich was met by fierce opposition. Inspirational messages led people to create their own reality, detached from the real world, causing people to publicly identify themselves as narcissists. Happiness began to be capitalized by organizations to promote better work environment which led to drug use such as Prozac and LSD to be more productive and more creative. Topics of toxic masculinity, manly despair, and alpha male were discussed extensively.
