Adam Gopnik joins the 21st to speak about his new book, "All That Happiness Is: Some Words on What Matters."
It's a short but powerful book, filled with stories of others and himself on how accomplishments, rather than achievements, can lead one to feel more fulfilled in life. It's also sort of a follow-on of his book from last year.
A version of this conversation originally aired on May 14, 2024.
