The Science of Happiness: A Guide to Sustainable Well-Being is not a manual for forcing permanent positivity or cheerful optimism. Instead, it offers a practical, evidence-based blueprint for building a life system that works—even when things get difficult.
Rather than chasing a constant good mood, this book shifts our focus from the impossible standard of “How can I feel happy all the time?” to a more realistic and powerful question: “What conditions help me function, connect, recover, grow, and experience my life as worthwhile?”
By exploring how we allocate our attention, nourish our core psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness), manage our physical foundations, and navigate hedonic adaptation, it reveals that sustainable well-being is not a prize to win. It is a dynamic, multidimensional system you design, build, and maintain.
