This is a thought-provoking book by Daniel Gilbert that delves into the concept of happiness from a human perspective. As a Harvard psychologist, Gilbert employs findings from psychology, cognitive neuroscience, philosophy, and behavioral economics to elucidate why our predictions about what will make us happy often miss the mark. The book sheds light on the constraints of our imagination and the foresight illusions that cause us to miscalculate our future contentment. It’s an engaging and insightful read that challenges our common misunderstandings about happiness.
