Happiness: The Case Against is a distinctive print by British artist and writer Harland Miller, created in 2017 as part of a limited edition of 50. The work was first associated with Miller’s solo exhibition Tonight We Make History (P.S. I Can’t Be There) in Berlin and forms part of a body of pieces where Miller expands beyond his well‑known Penguin book‑cover reinterpretations to invent original designs inspired by the bold, geometric covers of mid‑20th‑century popular psychology and self‑help books.
