Bob Slocum was living the American dream. He had a beautiful wife, three lovely children, a nice house...and all the mistresses he desired. He had it all -- all, that is, but happiness.

Central to Lewis’s observations is the idea that the

It is the second question which Belloc approaches in this book.
