The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt

The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt

Haidt takes ten claims about happiness that appear across the ancient world — in Buddha, the Stoics, Jesus, the Bhagavad Gita — and asks what psychological research says about each.

His central image is the elephant and the rider: the automatic mind is enormous and the conscious one is a small figure on top who mostly narrates. From there he covers reciprocity, hypocrisy and the self-serving bias, the happiness formula, why adversity sometimes helps and often does not, and why relationships beat conditions.

One of the best-written popular psychology books, and the foundation of Haidt's later work.
