En savoir plus sur le livre

In this engaging and relatable chronicle, the author embarks on a year-long experiment to uncover the essence of true happiness. Drawing from cutting-edge science, classical philosophy, and real-life experiences, she shares her transformative journey. This special 10th Anniversary edition includes a conversation with the author, inspiring stories from others, a guide to initiating your own happiness project, and a wealth of free resources. The journey began with a profound realization on a city bus: “The days are long, but the years are short.” This prompted her to dedicate a year to exploring what truly matters in life. Throughout the twelve months, she tested various insights from historical wisdom, scientific research, and popular culture about enhancing happiness. Key findings revealed that novelty and challenge significantly boost happiness, wise spending can enhance well-being, maintaining outer order fosters inner calm, and even the smallest changes can yield substantial benefits. This updated edition features an extensive interview with the author, stories of transformative happiness projects from others, a resource guide filled with free materials, and the Happiness Project Manifesto, alongside an excerpt from her bestselling work on personality profiles that can improve life for oneself and others.
