The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom By Jonathan Haidt Professor of Psychology
University of Virginia
This is a book about ten Great Ideas. Each chapter is an attempt to savor one idea that has been discovered by several of the world’s civilizations - to question it in light of what we now know from scientific research, and to extract from it the lessons that still apply to our modern lives. It is a book about how to construct a life of virtue, happiness, fulfillment, and meaning.
“For the reader who seeks to understand happiness, my advice is: Begin with Haidt.” --Martin E. P. Seligman, Professor of psychology, University of Pennsylvania, author of Authentic Happiness
