Ramsay Bolton, Lorne Malvo, Skeletor... Would that we could all share these smiling villains' lust for life.
Contains spoilers for Game Of Thrones season six.
I Can Make You Happy.
No, not the last-ditch plea of a sobbing spouse, but the title of a popular self-help book. From its cover, the soberly bespectacled face of demon headmaster Paul McKenna fixes you in its gaze and promises to grant your deepest desire: happiness. Using powerful psychological techniques, it says, this book and CD combo will help you experience greater joy than ever before.
It’s little wonder people bought it. Happiness is an elusive bugger - there one minute, undermined by a creeping sense of ultimate futility and inevitable decay the next. If only we could all be happy, we’d all be so much happier.
There are those with no need of Mr McKenna’s powerful psychological techniques of course.
