Summary
Can we really learn to be happy? Yes, we can. Each semester, nearly 1,400 students sign up for Harvard professor Tal Ben-Shahar's life-changing class, 'How to Get Happy.' Currently it's the hottest course at Harvard, taken by twenty percent of its graduates.



In Happier, Professor Ben-Shahar brings the ideas of the Ivory Tower to Main Street, distilling the lessons and exercises from his course into a slim volume of practical wisdom. Grounded in the Positive Psychology movement, based on years of researching the works of scientists, academics, and philosophers, Happier emphasizes the importance of pursuing a life of both pleasure and meaning.

I understood the content and the dozens of references to research studies which attempt to turn the topic into scientific certainty, but I'm left disappointed by the lack of any insights which I didn't already have before listening to this work. Maybe it makes me a nihilist in the categories of archetypes described by the author. I had higher hopes based on reader ratings of this book.

Interesting book with some great points but I feel it would have resonated more strongly if it had been narrated in the author's own voice, especially when covering formative and personal experiences.
