The Recipe for “Happy”

Those of you who’ve been reading this blog for a while know that hedonics – the study of what makes us happy or unhappy – is a pet topic of mine. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that I like the graphic below:

You should read the book “Stumbling on Happiness” by Dan Gilbert. It’s all about the brain processes about being happy, and it’s utterly fascinating.
