This book uses science, psychology and philosophy to examine the true nature of happiness and make practical, down to earth suggestions to improve your well being. Learn why wealth and material gain do not lead to happiness and what is going on inside your brain when your are happy or unhappy. We also cover the positive psychology movement and some encouraging tips from the less miserable philosophers.
