And does being good make us happy?; Are human beings especially prone to self-deception?\u003cbr\u003eAs in his previous books of popular philosophy, including the best-selling \u003cem\u003eThe Reason of Things\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Meaning of Things\u003c\/em\u003e, rather than presenting a set of categorical answers Grayling offers instead suggestions for how to think about every aspect of a question, and arrive at one's own conclusions.
