Spectacular Happiness is a novel written by Dr. Peter D. Kramer, which attempts to describe what constitutes the good life. The story is about a loving husband and devoted father whose wife takes their son and deserts him in search for a more conventional life. The story has received rave reviews from many critics within the media such as Amy Hempel, author of Tumble Home who states that "The grace, restraint, and precision of Peter Kramer's writing amplify the power of the highly charged ideas and explosive action in this striking, original novel."
This novel relates to the story Divorce and Our National Values in certain ways because both story's main focus is on happiness and what makes it and what can prevent it. Spectacular Happiness focuses more on the fact that some people feel as though their lives are incomplete and/or they are unconventional and should be changed. Nevertheless, Dr. Peter D. Kramer's psychiatric advice can be found in both Divorce and Our National Values and Spectacular happiness. I would personally like to read Spectacular Happiness mainly because the story has been highly reviewed and I believe I could quite possibly benefit from reading it.
