Buddy, you spot on! However, I see a bit of redundancy in your title. First title should be very short and all-encompassing.

I think Misguided Unhappy Men will always have a Miserable Beliefs. It would have been suffice, had you given a title "Misguided Unhappy Men".

I think what appeals to us will not necessarily be endearing to the examiner. Let us hope for the best!

Dears, whatever source of the pessage be, it started as why most of the people become dejected (early vacuums in life) and after they get a chance to fulfil a desire, they keep practising it again again and again. Later, in the pessage anothe cause for some people of being unhappy was given. And in the last somewhere was given remedy of one type of unhappiness. So, the title "Unhappiness: forms, causes and remedy" does not seem absurd to me.

I may be wrong, but this title is striking me. Seniors play correct me if I am deviating.

Faisal, where does the writer suggest "Remedies" in his paragraph? And secondly, the part "forms and causes" seem not striking! But may be examiner find it more striking that I do expect. so keep your fingers crossed! At the end of the day, it is he who has to decide no matter how much we are well confident about our title.

No doubt, it is He who decides for all of us.

Brother, it's been nearly one and a half month to the paper so I am unable to copy the exact phrase where the writer was suggesting remedy. A sort of something writer was saying about persuading them to set "New Goals".

Anyways, I am a human and so liable to err. But I would try to go through the pessage again and paste here the statement which I interpreted as suggesting remedy.

Best of Luck.

In CSS 2010 and CSS 2011, passages of Precis were taken from the book; Conquest of Happiness by Bertrand Russell.

Here is the online link of the book:

Bertrand Russell's The Coquest of Happiness (Full Text) - ƒ‰ƒbƒZƒ‹‚Ěƒ|[ƒ^ƒ‹ƒTƒCƒg

CSS 2010 Precis passage is from Chapter 6 'Envy' and CSS 2011 Precis passage is from Chapter 1 'Causes of Unhappiness'.

in the original text, there are 4 causes and 1 remedy. so the title tilts more towards causes.thus the title should be psychological causes of unhappiness.

Brother, I agree with you for you have a solid point regarding the tilt of text as more towards the causes.

Therefore, I should not have mentioned the "Remedy". But the point to be noted is that I used this word in singular form, rather than putting "Remedies", for the para contained only one remedy.

I am afraid whether it would be considered or not.

Bertrand Russell was intellectual and philosopher,and representative of 20 th century,against world wars and industrialism.being economist he sided karl marx and wrote over social alienation and specialisation of labour.praise idleness and defended idleness and spending .so he theorising sociology of world wars he created what we are interpreting.so he was saying the cause"social alienation" and mobility" that created a holocaustic vacuum in lives. Here remedy is not discussed,even suggestion is not realise.
So title would be
social alienation or
social mobility creates moral deprivity.
