The quest for happiness is universal. This state of blissful being is universally desired and has been for many millennia. Today it is widely accepted that happiness enables on a personal, societal, and economic level.

Happy people tend to be healthier, more productive, and better able to think with clarity, benefiting the economy, the individual, and society alike. Happiness works with the reader to explain how happiness works and evolves, where it comes from, and how it can be nurtured and maintained. It explores why acceptance of unhappiness is also important in our quest for joy.

In this comprehensive guide to the history, art, science, psychology, and attainment of happiness, you will discover:

  • How thoughts, actions, and genetic make-up influence happiness
  • Why acceptance of unhappiness is also critical to living a good life
  • Simple activities and techniques to help you flourish
