Daniel Gilbert

Daniel Gilbert is a prominent American psychologist known for his research on happiness and the ways people predict their future emotional states. He argues that individuals often misjudge what will make them happy, leading to a phenomenon known as "affective forecasting errors." Gilbert suggests that people struggle to accurately predict their feelings about future events, which can impact decision-making. He is also the author of the popular book "Stumbling on Happiness," where he explores how understanding our emotions and decisions can help us pursue a more fulfilling life. His work combines psychology with insights on human behavior.
