A Great read, but a better workbook
If you're ready to begin working on yourself and starting on the road to both understanding the underlying psychology and happiness, this is a great book. Practical, well-reseached, motivating without being too directive.

Great ideas from philosophy, clearly shared for modern times
Bits of wisdom fly at us constantly from fortune cookies and the like. Perhaps because of this, you may only rarely stop to savor a great idea and make it your own. Author Jonathan Haidt provides a remedy to modern habits of superficial thinking with this accessible update on 10 great ancient philosophical themes, examined within a scientific framework of positive psychology. He demonstrates that the questions of the ages are still worth kicking around. We recommend this book to those who want to know why change is so difficult and happiness so elusive. It will give you plenty to think about and possibly change your life. At the least, it will point you in a positive direction.

Achievable Happiness
The editorial reviews have done a nice job of reporting on the content & context of this book. I wish to report on the rewards of reading this book. I review a lot of material on happiness & other optimal emotion & mood states & I highly recommend The Happiness Hypothesis as an example of scholarly work written as a very pleasurable read. I appreciate this educator's focused & grounded recommendations for achieving a well-lived & loved life, amidst easy to assimilate constant, scholarly research. Pleasure, engagement, new perspectives, on top of great personal meaning, are tremendous rewards for reading a book. Wouldn't you agree?
