Book Reviews of Happiness: Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth
Book Review: Happiness - it's all here
Summary: 5 Stars
With so many books and happiness, and so many apparent happiness authorities, how can one tell what's worth reading and what's just armchair speculation or the re-hashing of other people's efforts? One surefire way is to go for the book written by the world's leading happiness researchers, the father and son team of Ed Diener and Robert Biswas-Diener. This book has it all - a masterful summary of the happiness research (large amounts of which they conducted themselves), as well as the insider anecdotes and insights that you could only find from the Jedi Master of Happiness Studies (Ed) and the Indiana Jones of Positive Psychology (Robert). Ed was doing happiness research years before it became fashionable (in fact, his work made it fashionable) and Robert has conducted happiness research in places that are far from fashionable - sex workers in the slums of Kolkata, the Amish in Pennsylvania, the Maasai in Kenya and the Inuit in Greenland.
If you're looking for a book on happiness that gives you everything you need to know on what makes people happy and why, as well as what you can do to be happier, and why happiness is important, this is that book. Between them, Ed and Robert have done much to create the modern field of happiness studies, and this book is their masterly review of that field. Happiness? It's all here, in the most comprehensive yet accessible, engaging and entertaining book available. Enjoy.
