"Stumbling on Happiness" (Dan Gilbert)

"Stumbling on Happiness" by Dan Gilbert explores how people often misjudge what will make them happy in the future. Gilbert explains that our minds are not always good at predicting future feelings, leading us to pursue goals that may not truly satisfy us. He discusses how we imagine the future, often inventing scenarios that don't match reality, and how this affects our choices. The book emphasizes that understanding the quirks of our thinking can help us make better decisions and find genuine happiness, rather than being misled by false expectations or assumptions about what will bring us joy.
