The happy brain asks: Do you want to be happy?

If yes - read this book. It contains all the answers. 

(Not really. Apologies! But at least it raises some very interesting questions and occasionally provides an answer.)

Dean Burnett

In The Happy Brain, neuroscientist Dean Burnett delves deep into the mechanisms of the human mind to answer some of the most fundamental questions about happiness: What exactly does it mean to experience happiness? What does it depend on? Is there a secret that will reveal to us how to be happy forever?

In her research, Burnett analyzes our complex inner lives to reveal surprising truths about what makes us happy. Our idea of happiness actually transforms through the different stages of our lives, but what doesn't change is our need for communication (after all, humans are social animals). From how happiness begins at home, to the effects of love, sex, friendships, wealth, laughter and success on the brain, this book offers wonderfully entertaining insights into what it's like to be human. A happy person!
