He makes a compelling case that optimism, gratitude, and acts of forgiveness not only make modern life more fulfilling but are actually in our self-interest. An affirming and constructive way of seeing life anew, \u003ci\u003eThe Progress Paradox\u003c\/i\u003e will change the way you think about your place in the world-and about our collective ability to make it better.","brand":"Random House USA Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51862999859543,"sku":"9780812973037","price":15.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780812973037.jpg?v=1759919322","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-progress-paradox-9780812973037","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
