The How of Happiness by Sonja Lyubomirsky

5.0

Fascinating book! Lyubomirsky has written an approachable and comprehensive tour through the actual science of happiness, much of which came from her own groundbreaking work. Much more than just myth-busting, she digs into the how and why with clear examples and lots of honest discussion of where the science falls short. I’ll say that my favorite part (and the bulk of the book) is the very well structured evaluation of different strategies for increasing your own happiness, including an diagnostic tool to understand which strategies might be a best fit for you.
My intuition was challenged in a few places and I’ve already started making changes to my approach on how I seek and maintain happiness.
