This book is insightful in regards to the psychology of happiness, but this is not a self-help book. My favorite chapter dealt with recalling memory and creating imaginations, and gave little diagrams to show which sensory areas of the brain were in use during both activities. Gilbert writes with humor, although sometimes it is of the cheesy, professorial sort.

I won’t spoil the ending, but I will say it was unnecessarily pat. Overall, worth the read. :)
