In this fascinating and often hilarious work - winner of the Royal
Society of Science Prize 2007 - pre-eminent psychologist Daniel
Gilbert shows how - and why - the majority of us have no idea how
to make ourselves happy. We all want to be happy, but do we know
how? When it comes to improving tomorrow at the expense of today,
we're terrible at predicting how to please our future selves. In
'Stumbling on Happiness' Professor Daniel Gilbert combines
psychology, neuroscience, economics and philosophy with
irrepressible wit to describe how the human brain imagines its
future - and how well (or badly) it predicts what it will enjoy.
Revealing some of the amazing secrets of human motivation, he also
answers thought-provoking questions - why do dining companions
order different meals instead of getting what they want? Why are
shoppers happier when they can't get refunds? And why are couples
less satisfied after having children while insisting that their
kids are a source of joy?
