The Happiness Hypothesis (book)
The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt explores how our thoughts, feelings, and social environments influence our well-being. Drawing on psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience, the book examines ten key ideas—like the importance of relationships, finding purpose, and cultivating gratitude—that help us understand what makes life meaningful and joyful. It emphasizes that happiness isn’t just about external circumstances but also about how we interpret and respond to life’s challenges. Ultimately, it offers practical insights into how we can foster greater fulfillment by aligning our inner values with our daily experiences.
