Publisher's Summary
Despite being discussed, questioned, philosophized about, and sought after since the days of Aristotle, the pathways to happiness are not always clear...but there is one. In order to find it, you need a solid foundation for understanding what really makes us - as humans - happy. And that’s exactly what you will gain by learning what science has to say about the big questions of happiness and thriving.
Throughout 10 lectures, Professor Jaime Kurtz will outline the physical and emotional benefits that a boost in happiness can bring you. Professor Kurtz will invite you to access those benefits with a range of science-based strategies that you can choose from - strategies that will help you create more happiness in your everyday life. As you examine the effect of both the tools and challenges to being happy, including mindfulness, exercise, nature, social media, money, and more, you’ll gain practical knowledge - useful things that you can start practicing in your life, immediately. You’ll also take away a deep understanding and appreciation of what is gained when we take an elusive concept such as happiness and examine it through the lens of science.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to boosting your happiness - it depends heavily on genetics among other factors, but by learning some new behaviors and actions that you can intentionally choose for yourself, you’ll find you are able to make real, lasting changes in both your daily life and in your overall levels of happiness.

Very Practical and Mind-Opening
I never knew there were practical steps we can take to improve our mood. This book has opened my eyes to a lot of things and some of the things will definitely stick with me for a long time.

If your curious, read, it's worth it.
I thoroughly enjoyed this 'course' and highly recommend for anyone whose curiosity brought them this far.
Not difficult to follow.
Enjoyable narration.
Contains topics you will most likely be familiar with but also others you may not be.
Gives you opportunities to complete activities for self reflection.
Will most likely listen to again in the future.
I found this really well put together.
Grateful.

Outdated debunked science
The positives: the author narrates this audiobook herself and she does an excellent job. The book is well structured and gives plenty of actionable advice.
The negatives: not enough care was taken to present accurate science. The author refers to Losada's number which has been debunked (google an article in the Guardian titled "The British amateur who debunked the mathematics of happiness" or see the Wikipedia article for 'critical positivity ratio'). This course was released in 2021, about seven years after Losada's number was debunked. Is the author not aware of this? I'm concerned that I don't know enough about the subject to pick up other things in this book that are incorrect, making the whole thing rather useless to me.
