Examines cutting edge theories on the science of emotion and interviews with people presumed to be "happy" to investigate where happiness comes from, why humans need it so much, and what it has to do with the human brain.

 

A neuroscientist uses cutting edge theories on the science of emotion and interviews with people presumed to be “happy” to investigate where happiness comes from, why humans need it so much and what it has to do with the human brain.

 

Burnett, a neuroscientist and science writer, examines happiness and where it comes from in the brain, looking at what causes it and why, what makes brains like certain things but not others, whether there is a perfect way to induce happiness, whether eternal happiness exists, and other aspects. He draws on research and theories about how the brain works and interviews with specialists and others to discuss happiness and home, work, interactions with people, love and sex, laughter, the dark side of happiness, and happiness throughout the lifespan.
