In this fascinating and often hilarious work, pre-eminent psychologist Daniel Gilbert shows how - and why - the majority of us have no idea how to make ourselves happy. The drive for happiness is one of the most instinctive and fundamental human impulses - but do we actually have the first idea how to achieve it, maintain it, or even, for that matter, what it is? In this revealing and witty investigation, pioneering psychologist, Daniel Gilbert uses his ground-breaking research, philosophy and real-life case studies to illustrate how our basic drive to satisfy our desires is not only often misguided, but also intrinsically linked to some of the most long-standing and contentious questions about human nature. Combining lively prose, fresh analysis, much-awaited findings and considerable erudition, "Stumbling On Happiness" is a fascinating and engaging look at what it means to be a human being on a perennial quest for happiness.

且不说书好书坏，就说一条：这书的书名就是坑人。它从头到尾介绍的都是人做的计划和对未来的决定为什么是不准的，怎样才能准。 应该叫《哈佛规划课》。 再说内容，很多都和丹·艾瑞里教授的《怪诞行为学》重复了。虽然这两本书可能没有个先来后到，但我看这两本书却是有先后...  

只有激情，那只是短暂的 只有意义，有可能是痛苦的。 幸福是什么呢？ 可能真的有些答案是 猫吃鱼，狗吃肉，奥特曼打小怪兽。 不过其实，这些都只是激情而已。 其实真正的幸福是： 猫吃到了自己努力抓到的鱼，狗吃了主人特地为他买来的肉肉，奥特曼打败了一个马上要毁灭地球...

不是个人喜欢的话题，可是幽默的笔触和深刻的见解，确实是一本不可多得的好书

We are deluded by our imagination which is rather an entertainment than a foresight. Happiness is just a false feeling other than something of real existence. Popcorn book,love it !
