"The so-called 'modern' man expects to find something in his leisure which his work and his family or 'private' life do not provide. Where is his happiness to be found? He hardly knows, and does not even ask himself" (Lefebvre 229).
In my essay, I would like to talk about how humans in the modern world define and seek to find happiness. I would discuss the inescapable illusion of the everyday and the vicious cycle of society: work, passive/active leisure time, and the attempt at attaining personal happiness through the muddle of routine life. Argument: media and consumerism perpetuate this cycle/false happiness
