The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom by Jonathan Haidt
informative
medium-paced
5.0
What a brilliant read. This comes across as a reference book with an impressively coherent structure. Haidt balances academic theory (philosophical, psychological and religious) with relatable anecdotes from daily life, making this digestible without over-simplifying his key ideas.
Beyond simply explaining the psychology of the self, this analysis extends to explore how it influences social relationships, politics, culture and religion. My mind is blown- it's one of those books that's made me see our world very differently.
