Hearing Happiness : Deafness Cures in History
Weaving together lyrical history and personal memoir, Virdi powerfully examines society’s—and her own—perception of life as a deaf person in America. At the age of four, Jaipreet Virdi’s world went silent.A severe case of meningitis left her alive but deaf, suddenly treated differently by everyone.Her deafness downplayed by society and doctors, she struggled to “pass” as hearing for most of her life.Countless cures, treatments, and technologies led to dead ends.Never quite deaf enough for the Deaf community or quite hearing enough for the “normal” majority, Virdi was stuck in aural limbo for years.It wasn’t until her thirties, exasperated by problems with new digital hearing aids, that she began to actively assert her deafness and reexamine society’s—and her own—perception of life as a deaf person in America. Through lyrical history and personal memoir, Hearing Happiness raises pivotal questions about deafness in American society and the endless quest for a cure.Taking us from the 1860s up to the present, Virdi combs archives and museums in order to understand the long history of curious cures: ear trumpets, violet ray apparatuses, vibrating massagers, electrotherapy machines, airplane diving, bloodletting, skull hammering, and many more.Hundreds of procedures and products have promised grand miracles but always failed to deliver a universal cure—a harmful legacy that is still present in contemporary biomedicine. Weaving Virdi’s own experiences together with her exploration into the fascinating history of deafness cures, Hearing Happiness is a powerful story that America needs to hear.

Happiness
‘All philosophy is a metaphysics of happiness…or it’s not worth an hour of trouble’ claims Alain Badiou in this lively intervention into one of the most persistent themes in philosophy: what is happiness? And what do I need to do to be happy? The desire to be happy is one of our most universal goals and yet there doesn’t seem to be any easy answers or formulas for achieving happiness. And the concept has become so commodified and corrupted to be almost unrecognizable as something worth pursuing.In light of this, should we just give up the aspiration to be happy altogether?Alain Badiou thinks not. While eschewing futile procedures for magically becoming ‘happy’, Badiou does passionately maintain that in order to be truly happy we need philosophy. And, bolder still, that a life lived philosophically is the happiest life of all!

Happiness
Happiness has been used as guide to the good life for thousands of years.It can, however, just as easily lead us awry as direct us towards a life well lived. We must learn to see happiness as something more nuanced and differentiated.By doing so the target we set up can bring us much more life satisfaction.This is not to deny the importance of happiness, we just need to see our aim more clearly. Many attempts to deal with the vast amount of psychological pain that exists in the world today have been to look at what causes distress.A new field of positive psychology has emerged which then tries to look at the issue from the other end of the telescope and look at what makes people happy.This book is an attempt to understand happiness philosophically: what it is, how we are responsible for it and what we can do to get more of it.Happiness is our alarm to detect good. These alarms, though, are often set to detect what is bad, so we don’t even see what is good.We also often see good as something we need to possess and control to extract that feeling of happiness.We then expunge any feeling of good. By changing how we view good, we can change our experience of happiness to something more controllable and enduring.
