An outstanding book. It combines the longest and richest study of
human lives anywhere with two remarkable authors of extraordinary
breadth
*Sir Richard Layard, Professor of Economics, LSE and author of Can
We Be Happier?*
This is the book we’ve been waiting for. With grace, humor, and
scientific rigor, The Good Life challenges our most stubborn
assumptions, and proves that the kind of thriving, happy life we
all hope for may have been hiding in plain sight all along. It
couldn’t have come at a better time

understanding the importance of what makes a good life is paramount
now more than ever. Both informative and practical, this book is a
must read

Social Psychology*
This is the most significant account of one of the most important

clinician scientists in the field ... this book offers unparalleled
insight into our nature as people
