From Richard Layard, distinguished economist and a leading figure in the new field of happiness studies, comes this revolutionary work addressing what happiness is and how we can have more of it. Based on sophisticated, cutting-edge, scientific research, Happiness integrates insights gleaned from psychology, neuroscience, sociology, and applied economics to draw surprising conclusions about the true causes of happiness and the means we have to effect it. (Hint: it probably isn't wealth or fame.) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
