Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilbert (2006)

In the book, Daniel Gilbert, a Harvard Professor of Psychology, explores the psychology and science behind the concept of happiness.

He argues that the human mind is not capable of predicting future happiness due to its inability to accurately imagine the future.

Drawing from a variety of scientific and social experiments, Gilbert investigates the numerous factors that influence our happiness.

He examines how humans cope with the gap between what they expect and what actually happens.

He also discusses the role that memory plays in influencing our current feelings of happiness.

Gilbert suggests that our brains are hardwired to focus on the present, and that this can lead to poor decision-making and unhappiness.

He argues that understanding the science behind happiness can help us make better decisions in order to achieve true happiness.
