description
In this insightful treatise on happiness, or the pursuit thereof, Dr. Dan Gilbert tells us that seeking happiness is a worthy goal, and that the failure to find it lies within ourselves. Our minds stand in the way of achieving it: either we anticipate the future wrongly, or we lack the imagination to achieve what we want. We fail to communicate to others or accept false premises about happiness that are shared by the culture. All is not gloom and doom, however, as Dr. Gilbert, by shining a light on our self-imposed impediments, offers the possibility that we may find our way (stumbling though it may be) on the path to true happiness.
