Daniel Todd Gilbert

This book is about why it's nearly impossible to predict what's going to make you happy. It's pretty ridiculous at times, but full of interesting facts that your friends will get tired of hearing you repeat.

second time reading (first time paperback)

I have been picking this one up off and on for a couple years...I recommend taking your time to savor all the snarling wisdom that is Dr. Gilbert!

A really liked this book, the author combines psychology studies with some good humour to explain to us why, as humans, we have trouble being happy.
Its not a self help book, but a great description of why we all need help :)
