Interesting listen submitted by brady.emmett on August 5, 2011, 7:47am I stumbled upon this book on CD, appropriately, and thought I should give it a try. I've been reading books on Happiness for a little while, and I'd heard this one referenced a few times. Gilbert did not make the point I thought he was going to make. His main point is that we are really bad at guessing what will make us happy and/or unhappy. Gilbert's style of writing is very amusing and tht helps him build his support. An enjoyable listen. Recommended.

Is happiness beyond one's control? submitted by pires on October 13, 2018, 6:41pm You would think this book is about how to take relevant steps to find [that is, make] happiness, but the message gets lost in a much more extensive discussion about research that shows that happiness is much more an accidental than a planned thing.
