closely
with
Daniel
Kahneman
who

him
'a
star'.

focuses
on
developing

Recenzii
Dolan
gives
a
comprehensive
overview
of
the
science
of
happiness
and
useful
tips
to
achieve
it.
In
his
quest
to
explain
what
makes
us
happy,
Dolan
touches
on
a
powerful
idea:
happiness
need
not
be
pursued,
simply
rediscovered.
In
other
words,
sources
of
pleasure
and
purpose
are
all
around
us,
if
only
one
knows
where
to
look
It tells us what matters to us. Few books change one's life; in 48 hours this has improved mine . . . Anyone who wonders if they are living their lives as fully as they might will find ideas worth thinking about in this engaging, persuasive book
Dolan is especially illuminating when it comes to bigger life-choices . . . Dolan makes a persuasive case that happiness might really be simple. His book is a powerful reminder not to get caught up in overthinking things, but to focus instead on maximising what actually delivers joy . . . and most of us would benefit from listening to him
[Dolan's] discoveries at once confound your expectations and provide an appreciable way of acting on that knowledge . . . full of facts that make you go: "Huh."
Dolan's book is aimed at the lay reader who wants to be more cheerful without recourse to airy-fairy notions of spirituality or philosophy
Outstanding, cutting-edge, and profound. If you're going to read one book on happiness, this is the one
Happiness by Designis the best kind of psychology book: the ideas are fascinating, understanding them will make your life happier and more meaningful, and Dolan expresses them beautifully. Whether you're a novice or a voracious consumer of happiness research, Happiness by Design hits all the right notes
Dolan wants...to make us think about life in terms of a balance of pleasure and purpose. Some of us are 'pleasure machines', seeking out short-term gratification without paying close enough attention to our lifelong goals; some of us are 'purpose engines', so determined to get to the destination that we miss the view along the way. Whichever we are, we need to find a bit more of the other.
