From Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "The Drs. Diener provide a wealth of research information on what causes happiness and what doesn't. This isn't a fast read, but it is a very interesting and productive one."; "Very interesting perspectives on Happiness, where it comes from, what it is and why it's beneficial. Not as obvious as you may think."; "This book had a lot of information about varying aspects of happiness - wealth, relationships, religion, etc. Though it referenced many scientific research studies, it was still an enjoyable read. I especially liked the part on wealth that said: Happiness = What We Have/(divided by)What We Want. Conclusion: We can make ourselves happier just by wanting less!"
