About this listen
Do you want to be happy?
If so - listen. This audiobook has all the answers!
Not really. Sorry. But it does have some very interesting questions and at least the occasional answer.
The enthusiasm for and expectation of happiness are so widespread today that fundamental questions about it are often overlooked. For starters, the most basic question of all: where does happiness come from? Is it your brain - a mere concoction of chemicals or network of neurons? Is it in fact your gut? (Spoiler alert: yes. Sort of) Or is it external? Is it love or sex or money or success? And what are these doing to our brains anyway?
In The Happy Brain, Neuroscientist Dean Burnett delves into our most private selves to investigate what causes happiness, where it comes from and why we are so desperate to hang on to it. The questions he raises are ones we so rarely ask today, but they address a major part of what it means to be a modern-day human.

Great book. very informative & a fun listen!
i would highly reccomend this book to anyone with an interest in psychology, neuro science or just humans in general.
I was getting plenty of laughs and happiness just from reading, whilst also being educated.

Loved the book
I loved the book. It was funny, informative & engaging. I would have loved it if Dean Burnett read it though. I would have found it more authentic. It really was great

Many more rewarding books to choose from
Definitely wasn't what I expected and, while entertainingly written, it felt disappointingly pointless. It may be interesting to some to follow the author's thought and research process.
