<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"Bold and original." --Daniel Kahneman, PhD, bestselling author of <i>Thinking Fast and Slow </i></b> <p/>There are a slew of books on the market dictating programs for achieving happiness, but <i>Happiness by Design </i>is the first to explain that happiness ultimately depends upon our experience of pleasure and purpose over time--and everyone has their own optimal balance. Combining the latest insights from economics and psychology, renowned behavior expert Paul Dolan, PhD, shows readers how to integrate his ground-breaking paradigm into a practical plan for deciding, designing, and doing the things that bring them true happiness.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Outstanding, cutting-edge, and profound. If you're going to read one book on happiness, this is the one."<br>--Nassim Nicholas Taleb, bestselling author of <i>The Black Swan</i> and <i>Antifragile</i> <p/>"<i>Happiness by Design</i> is the best kind of psychology book: the ideas are fascinating, understanding them will make your life happier and more meaningful, and Dolan expresses them beautifully. Whether you're a novice or a voracious consumer of happiness research, Happiness by Design hits all the right notes."<br>--Adam Alter, bestselling author of <i>Drunk Tank Pink</i> <p/>"Dolan gives a comprehensive overview of the science of happiness and useful tips to achieve it. In his quest to explain what makes us happy, Dolan touches on a powerful idea: happiness need not be pursued, simply rediscovered. In other words, sources of pleasure and purpose are all around us, if only one knows where to look."<br>--<i>Scientific American</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>PAUL DOLAN, PHD, is Professor of Behavioral Science at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
