| Home -> Books -> Stumbling on Happiness |
This is not a self-help book, but a wryly humorous and entertaining scientific explanation of the limitations of the human imagination and how it steers us wrong in our search for happiness. Gilbert, a psychology professor at Harvard, draws on psychology, cognitive neuroscience, philosophy and behavioral economics to argue that, just as we err in remembering the past, so we err in imagining the future. I was irredeemably hooked after reading the hilarious acknowledgment page, and the actual meat of the text only gets better.
