Schutz was three decades his junior, had taught at Harvard and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and had just written a book that, in his first months at the Institute, would grow into a national bestseller. Its title was Joy, a state Schutz described as ‘the feeling that comes from the fulfilment of one’s potential’. Inspired by Carl Rogers, Schutz believed that humans are born with all the joy they’ll ever need inside them, but society gets in the way of it, suppressing it as we suppress our true selves.
