Rezensionen
"The philosophical portions of the book are good enough, and I recommend Happy-People-Pills for All if you are interested in a fun "what-if" discussion."
"Summing Up: Recommended. With reservations. General readers."
"A fascinating and provocative argument, beautifully made. This book challenges everything you believe about who deserves to be happy, and why."
--Daniel Gilbert, Harvard University, Author of the bestseller Stumbling on Happiness
"A game-changing contribution to philosophical debates about happiness. Its arguments are ambitious, novel, and philosophically focused and its discussion wide-ranging."
--Nicholas Agar, Victoria University of Wellington, Author of Humanity'
"Happy-People-Pills is a great examination of the increasingly contentious issue of modifying our bodies and our moods through pharmacology. Laying out in precise detail the arguments for and against, Walker explains the importance of happiness for health, life, and love and gives a powerful case for using chemical technology to make more of it."
--Patrick Hopkins, Millsaps College, Author of Sex/Machine: Readings in Culture, Gender, and Technology
