The Happiness Cure - Why You're Not Built For Constant Happiness And How To Find A Way Through (Paperback)

As a species, we've never had it so good. We're living longer and healthier lives than ever before; the sum of human knowledge and endless entertainment are only ever a few clicks away.

So why are we in the midst of a mental health crisis?

The Happiness Cure offers a radical new way to think about fulfilment. Blending neuroscientific research and empirical breakthroughs with stories of ordinary individuals, leading psychiatrist and viral TedX speaker Dr Anders Hansen reveals that by adopting an evolutionary take on life, we can re-set our perspective on happiness to find longer-term meaning and lasting contentment.

Quick fascinating insight into the human psyche

Wed, 29 Mar 2023 | Review by: Natisha J.

"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't - you're right Henry Ford" This is a well-researched work simplifies multiple sources of research, into clearly defined easy ro digest chapters. These are clearly mapped to explain the different factors impacting the individual's need for happiness. Any book that delves so deeply into the neuroscience and evolution could easily end up as dry as a textbook but @andershansen avoided this but providing smaller chunks of information in simple terms that are written with the common reader in mind. This books explores anxiety and why this is a sign of your brain functioning as it should and the importance of exercise and hope in preventing depression and overall is a fascinating look at the complexities of the human brain and our space in the evolution cycle. Definitely pick this up to gain insight into what makes you, you - it truly will change the way that you look at mental health. Thank you to Penguin Books South Africa for affording me the opportunity to read this.
