This year's edition of Redstone's beloved cult diary celebrates happiness and the exploration of joy in everyday life.
Life, the philosophers say, should be spent in pursuit of happiness. We are bombarded with advice on what fulfillment looks like: on how to be, what not to do, improvement plans, mantras of wellbeing, being kind to oneself and others. But such contentment remains elusive; nor is it a rational goal, however alluring. We can, at best, only see glimmers of such pleasures and recall them in retrospect. But if we can place these moments together, day by day, across weeks and months, we can achieve something resembling a good life.
Edited by Julian Rothenstein, founder of the Redstone Press, the 2025 Redstone Diary is a calendar of these essential moments of flourishing.
