Brilliantly synthesising ancient cultural insights with modern psychology.' – THE TIMES'I don't think I ever read a book that laid out the contemporary understanding of the human condition with such simple clarity and sense.' – GUARDIAN_______For millennia, humans have handed down lots of nuggets of wisdom: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others. Happiness comes from within.But, do these 'truths' actually hold the key to a happier, more fulfilled life? And if so, can we apply these ideas to our twenty-first century lives?In The Happiness Hypothesis, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt examines ten Great Ideas which have been championed across civilisations. By holding ancient wisdom to the test of modern psychology, Haidt extracts lessons on how we can train our brains to be more optimistic, build better relationships and achieve a sense of balance.In this uplifting and empowering book, Haidt draws on sources as diverse as Buddha, Benjamin Franklin and Shakespeare to show how we can find happiness and meaning in life._______'Psychologist Jonathan Haidt shows in his wonderfully smart and readable The Happiness Hypothesis [that] modern science and history have a lot to say to each other.' – WASHINGTON POST''I can't recommend this book enough.' – JOE ROGAN, host of THE JOE ROGAN EXPERIENCE'My most gifted book.' – DAMIAN HUGHES, co-host of HIGH PERFORMANCE

"Riveting... Brilliantly synthesising ancient cultural insights with modern psychology and even holding out some faint hope that your happiness, if not your tallness, might be marginally adjustable after all." Sunday Times "Marvellous... Haidt...takes us on an extraordinary journey... I don't think I've ever read a book that laid out the contemporary understanding of the human condition with such simple clarity and sense." -- James Flint Guardian "A superbly argued, crystal clear and intelligent blend of new directions in contemporary experimental psychology with traditional philosophical thought... And you know what? Reading it did actually make this reviewer happier." Arena "A delightful book... By some margin the most intellectually substantial book to arise from the 'Positive Psychology' movement." Nature "With singular gusto, Haidt measures ten 'Great Ideas' against past/present research in psychology and science. "LJ" 's verdict: Dr. Phil et al. don't have diddly on the old-school sages. No man is an island, indeed, and no modern reader should be without this carefully considered demystification of life" Library Journal Best Books 2006
