The latest scientific research reveals some fascinating facts about happiness. The age of greatest unhappiness is 47. Up to 50% of our range of happiness is determined by our genes. Conservatives are happier than liberals. Having a baby increases your happiness levels for two years. Finland is the happiest country in the world. Discover the latest scientific facts about happiness and the proven principles and strategies for increasing yours – without having to move to Finland.
The science of happiness is a new and flourishing area of scientific research that provides us with a clear understanding of what actually makes us happy. In this timely audiobook, leading psychiatrist Professor Brendan Kelly examines the most up-to-date findings to arrive at a comprehensive set of principles and strategies that are scientifically proven to increase happiness levels. Combining research evidence with scientific, psychological and even spiritual advice, it will enable us to chart a happier path through our complex world.
Professor Kelly examines features of the brain that lead us to think the way we do, common misconceptions about happiness, interesting facts about happiness trends around the world and the research that can empower us to create the circumstances for happiness to flourish in our lives.
