Description

A short but engaging look at how the key to our own happiness may lie with other people.

Why is Denmark consistently ranked one of the happiest nations? In Happiness, researcher Christian Bjųrnskov explores what we mean when we talk about happiness. Based on new research findings on how people perceive their own lives, Bjųrnskov argues that the basic factors that constitute happiness are mostly universal across cultures. By evaluating studies and theories on happiness that test how family, genetics, religion, wealth, work, and trust factor into our happiness as well as how often we smile or compare ourselves to others, Bjųrnskov outlines why our most important source of happiness may be the people around us.
