Happiness
£6.89
In this new edition of his landmark book Richard Layard shows that there is a paradox at the heart of our lives. Most people want more income. Yet as societies become richer they do not become happier. This is not just anecdotally true it is the story told by countless pieces of scientific research. We now have sophisticated ways of measuring how happy people are & all the evidence shows that on average people have grown no happier in the last fifty years even as average incomes have more than doubled. In fact the First World has more depression more alcoholism & more crime than fifty years ago. This paradox is true of Britain the United States continental Europe & Japan. What is going on? Now fully revised & updated to include developments since first publication Layard answers his critics in what is still the key book in happiness studies. ...

Happiness Advantage
£6.74
Most people want to be successful in life. & of course everyone wants to be happy. When it comes to the pursuit of success & happiness most people assume the same formula: if you work hard you will become successful & once you become successful then you'll be happy. The only problem is that a decade of cutting-edge research in the field of positive psychology has proven that this formula is backwards. Success does not beget happiness. Based on the largest study ever conducted on happiness & human potential (a survey conducted by the author of more than 1 600 students) Harvard lecturer Shawn Achor shares seven core principles of positive psychology that each one of us can use to improve our performance grow our careers & gain a competitive edge at work. He reveals how happiness actually fuels success & performance not the other way around. Why? Because when we are happier & more positive we are more engaged creative resilient to stress & productive. The Happiness Advantage" will appeal to anyone who wants practical advice on how to become happier & also more successful." ...

Happiness Hypothesis
£6.89
Every culture rests on a bedrock of folk wisdom handed down through generations. The pronouncements of philosophers are homespun by our grandmothers & find their way into our common sense: what doesnt kill you makes you stronger. Do unto others as you would have done unto you. Happiness comes from within. But are these truths really true? Today we all seem to prefer to cling to the notion that a little bit more money love or success will make us truly happy. Are we wrong? In The Happiness Hypothesis psychologist Jonathan Haidt exposes traditional wisdom to the scrutiny of modern science delivering startling insights. We learn that virtue is often not its own reward why extroverts really are happier than introverts & why conscious thought is not as important as we might like to think... Drawing on the rich inspiration of both philosophy & science " The Happiness Hypothesis" is a remarkable original & provocative book
- ancient wisdom in our time."
