Cohen's law

the long version

"In Cohen's Law, our intrepid hero stumbles his way through the jungle of life while hunting for that most elusive prize of all - happiness. On the way, he rejects the expectations of family, beliefs of religion, methods of science, lessons of education, comforts of wealth, illumination of literature and wisdom of philosophy. Trying to make sense of a nonsensical world, he staggers from trial to error and back to trial. How can he achieve the goal that has eluded so many?"--Cover p.[4]
