This is not a self-help happiness book, but rather a look at the science behind where happiness comes from. Each chapter looks at different perspectives on happiness - love, relationships, homes, fame, and other people. The chapter on 'The Dark Side of Happiness' -why we sometimes enjoy making other people unhappy - is truly fascinating.Despite the limitations of our knowledge of the brain's functions, there's a lot of science lurking in here as well as well-informed speculation and really is an enjoyable read. Burnett's other fantastic book The Idiot Brain is available here. Who wrote it?Dean Burnett How does it come?Paperback 21.5 x 13.5 x 2.5 cm, 344 pages.
