About this book

Stumbling on Happiness is a 2006 book by Daniel Gilbert, a psychologist at Harvard University. He asks why we are so poor at predicting what will make us happy, and he uses research from psychology, cognitive neuroscience, philosophy and behavioural economics to answer.

Gilbert explains how the imagination fills in gaps, projects the present onto the future and ignores how well we adapt to changes, and he suggests that other people's experience may be a better guide than our own forecasts.
