The Happiness Hypothesis
The philosophers' assertions are made at home by our grandmothers and enter our common sense: "what doesn't kill us makes us stronger"; "do unto others as you would like them to do unto you"; "happiness comes from within"…
But are these "truths" really true? Currently, we all seem to prefer clinging to the notion that a little more money, love, or success will make us happier.
Are we right?
In The Happiness Hypothesis, psychologist Jonathan Haidt subjects traditional wisdom to the scrutiny of modern science, presenting surprising conclusions about what we consider rewards and what defines us as people.
Drawing on the rich teachings of philosophy and the certainties of science, The Happiness Hypothesis is a remarkable, original, and provocative book—ancient wisdom applied to our time.
