'Jill Stark’s Happy Never After: How the happiness fairytale is driving us mad (and how I flipped the script) is out this month through Scribe Publishing. In this forensic examination of our age of anxiety, Stark explores how we can unplug, keep calm, and find meaning in a frenetic world designed to drive us mad.
