-Descripcion Original:

The most brilliant and lucid analysis of virtue and well-being in the entire literature of positive psychology. For the reader who seeks to understand happiness, my advice is: Begin with Haidt. -Martin E.P. Seligman, University of Pennsylvania and author of Authentic HappinessThe Happiness Hypothesis is a book about ten Great Ideas. Each chapter is an attempt to savor one idea that has been discovered by several of the worlds civilizations-to question it in light of what we now know from scientific research, and to extract from it the lessons that still apply to our modern lives and illuminate the causes of human flourishing. Award-winning psychologist Jonathan Haidt shows how a deeper understanding of the worlds philosophical wisdom and its enduring maxims-like do unto others as you would have others do unto you, or what doesnt kill you makes you stronger-can enrich and transform our lives. Review I really cant recommend this book enough. Its one of the best and most insightful books Ive ever read. Joe Rogan[T]he psychologist Jonathan Haidt shows in his wonderfully smart and readable The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom [that] modern science and history have a lot to say to each other. Darrin McMahon, The Washington Post[An] inspiring nuanced study. People[A] marvelous book.... I dont think Ive ever read a book that laid out the contemporary understanding of the human condition with such simple clarity and sense. Guardian, (UK)This unusual book sets itself apart from the self-help category with its extensive scientific references, and intelligent, neutral prose, while the authors illuminating illustration of how the human mind works is both educational and refreshing. Sunday Times (London)With singular gusto, Haidt measures ten Great Ideas against past/present research in psychology and science. LJs verdict: Dr. Phil et al. dont have diddly on the old-school sages. No man is an island, indeed, and no modern reader should be without this carefully considered demystification of life. Library Journal, Best Books 2006This is a delightful book.... Haidts writing embraces spiritual and mystical viewpoints while retaining scientific and rational coherence. NatureA disarming, original book, reassuring to those more conversant with worriment than merriment.... Smart and serious without pomposity. Seattle TimesHaidts remedy for the modern glut of frivolous self-help literature is to review and revise the classics, examining the ideas of thinkers like Plato, Buddha and Jesus in light of modern research into human behavior. Along the way, Haidt, a social psychologist, provides practical advice for parenting, romance, work and coping with the political and cultural divisions currently preoccupying the country. Psychology TodayThe Happiness Hypothesis is a wonderful and nuanced book that provides deep insight into the some of the most important questions in life--Why are we here? What kind of life should we lead? What paths lead to happiness? From the ancient philosophers to cutting edge scientists, Haidt weaves a tapestry of the best and the brightest. His highly original work on elevation and awe--two long-neglected emotions--adds a new weave to that tapestry. A truly inspiring book. David M. Buss, author of The Evolution of Desire: Strategies of Human MatingThis fresh and original book goes to the heart of what people have found out about happiness, across cultures and times. Enjoyable, important, and eminently readable. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, author of FLOWJonathan Haidt leaves no doubt about the importance of emotion in the creation of personal meaning. This is a delightful and courageous book. Antonio Damasio, author of Looking for SpinozaIn this beautifully written book, Jonathan Haidt shows us the deep connection that exists between cutting-edge psychological research and the wisdom of the ancients.
