Way Beyond Happiness: Buddhism, Stoicism, and Psychotherapy

Available 4 August 2026

As well as explaining the origins of Buddhism, Stoicism, and psychotherapy, Way Beyond Happiness gives us contrasting perspectives, from a diverse team of writers, on some of the controversial issues that arise.

  • Can therapy or religion overcome the “meaning crisis” of modern life?
  • Would a perfectly wise person be immune to grief?
  • What’s the downside of optimism about future outcomes?
  • Do Stoicism or Buddhism encourage a cold, unfeeling absence of emotion?
  • Are psychedelic drugs effective aids to spiritual awareness?
  • What are the vital disagreements between Buddhism and Stoicism?

Get to know Mike Conley, author of The LNT Report: How Bad Science Made The World Afraid of Nuclear Power, as he shares her inspiration for writing the book and explains how decades of misinformation have shaped public perception of nuclear energy and what we can do to set the record straight.
