The Pursuit of Unhappiness: The Elusive Psychology of Well-Being
Daniel Haybron
Oxford University Press, USA
, 2008
The pursuit of happiness is a defining theme of the modern era. But what if people aren't very good at it? That is the question posed by this book, the first comprehensive philosophical treatment of happiness, understood here as a psychological phenomenon. Engaging heavily with the scientific literature, Dan Haybron argues that people probably know less about their own welfare, and may be less effective at securing it, than common belief has it. ...

Funny and insightful!
This book is such a joy to read! It is one of the funniest books I have read and yet we learn so much about ourselves with it! It shows us how we create much of the unhappiness that we experience and in an indirect way, how we can step out of it. If you want to learn more about consciousness and how it relates to our happiness, read "The Ever-Transcending Spirit" by Toru Sato. It is not as funny ...

Difficult to accept, but true
Everything that this book talks about is true. It's difficult for some people (usually, people with the exact same problem that the authors are talking about) to admit that they're messed up. The notion that their subconscious is making them do things that are not necessarily good for them, is a truth that's hard to swallow. That's why concepts like Transactional Analysis introduced way back in ...

Happiness is a source
This book is a wonderful confirmation of my 77 years on earth. I have given three copies to my psychology compatriates. The basis for happiness is located inside and as with humor, wonder and curiosity fed by our contained energy part. So watch the drains (also in others). Thanks to the author I have freed myself even more from the jealousy of others. Pieter G. Kuipers, Sneek, The Netherlands

Waking Up to Your Life Again: A Brilliant Guide to Understanding Depression
I was actually led to seek out information on meditation as a treatment for depression through a book called Surviving America's Depression Epidemic by psychologist Bruce E. Levine. That book takes a highly insightful approach to investigating the sociological and personal genesis for depression and I credit it for saving me from succumbing to this condition. Afterwards, I bought "The Mindful Way ...

Bernard Berkowitz
Ballantine
, 1971
A national bestseller in 1971 with advice on this important subject still very applicable today. Wonderfully appropriate to the subject and to today, is the opening sentence of the introduction: "When Thoreau remarked that most men live lives of quiet desparation, he could not have foreseen how noisy that despration would become". Definitely addressed to the hassles of being your own best friend in these hectic times. Basic questions that the ...

An amazing book of truth.
There was nothing in this book that I could argue/disagree with, not because of personal belief or opinion, but because it represents the inherent truth of life. This book is about enlightenment/awakening, but it's not exactly promoted as such. It was a joy to read, and the sense of lightness/calmness it inspired inside me was notable. It wasn't like the "Non-dual" books out there that tend to ...

Finally! A book you can understand!
I actually found myself unable to put this book down - pretty good for a book on mental health! This book explains things in layman's terms and was very helpful and easy to understand. The many case histories, written in regular English, made understanding the concepts easy. One can definitely tell that Dr. Heller has an understanding for his patients, and is truly interested in helping them. I ...
