Description

Jonathan Haidt skillfully combines two genres—philosophical wisdom and scientific research—delighting the listener with surprising insights. He explains, for example, why we have such difficulty controlling ourselves and sticking to our plans; why no achievement brings lasting happiness, yet a few changes in your life can have profound effects, and why even confirmed atheists experience spiritual elevation. In a stunning final chapter, Haidt addresses the grand question "How can I live a meaningful life?," offering an original answer that draws on the rich inspiration of both philosophy and science.

"The 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 Mating

"In this beautifully written book, Jonathan Haidt shows us the deep connection that exists between cutting-edge psychological research and the wisdom of the ancients. It is inspiring to see how much modern psychology informs life's most central and persistent questions"—Barry Schwartz, author ofThe Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less

"In our quest for happiness, we must find a balance between modern science and ancient wisdom, between East and West, and between "left brain" and "right brain." Haidt has struck that balance perfectly, and in doing so has given us 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, Director, Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania and author of Authentic Happiness

"Haidt is a fine guide on this journey between past and present, discussing the current complexities of psychological theory with clarity and humor. . . Haidt's is an open-minded, robust look at philosophy, psychological fact and spiritual mystery, of scientific rationalism and the unknowable ephemeral—an honest inquiry that concludes that the best life is, perhaps, one lived in the balance of opposites."—Bookpage

Ce que les critiques en disent

I prefer Jonathan Haidt's voice

I wish the author had read the book, he had narrated his other works and I loved them.

A strong, practical intro to Moral Psychology

Another excellent book by Jonathan Haidt who skillfully and accessibly lures the listener/reader into the fascinating and practical world of moral psychology. I would also highly recommend The Righteous Mind by the same author for similar reasons. It is too bad that Haidt does not narrate this one, but the narrator does a decent job. This difference accounted for the loss of one star in my mind. #Audible1

Very interesting but somewhat bland performance

Ryan Vincent Anderson doesnt quite do this book justice. Its full of golden, life changing facts and ideas but he reads it in an unemotional, bland way that almost made me want to fall asleep when listening.

Dry narration.

Valuable content and well written. Definitely an important book. The narration was monotone and flat, which made it hard to digest. I will likely read the book myself at some point.

Decent read

it was pretty good, delved deep into different subjects and philosophies, pressed hard on the religious aspect right at the last couple of chapters there, finishing the story a tad confused about finding the balance to achieve happiness but overall it was a good read

Thought provoking

Downloaded this audio book after hearing it referenced in a Vedanta presentation by Swami Sarvapriyananda, the head of the Vedanta Society in New York. Jonathan Haidt leads the listener through a fascinating exploration of the human condition. We think we know ourselves but in actuality, we truly don’t. Haidt offers a raw and honest examination of human behaviour and why we behave as we do, offering us a deeper understanding of the why behind it.

Must read!

This is a great read/listen. Lots of psychologicy related to happiness. I can't write a review that can capture what is in the book. It's super interesting and very helpful.

Just okay; narration is robotic

A bit ambitious as the author covers neuroscience, psychology, religion, philosophy, history, politics, and self help - all in a small book. A good overview though and relevant to many of the main conflicts of our time. Book is filled with humbling lessons.
