Work Description
Applies the latest findings in psychology and brain research to the wisdom of the ancients to define what makes people happy and how you can find more happiness in your life. Confirms and builds on the happiness formula defined by other psychologists:
H=S+C+V
or
Happiness = your biological Setpoint + the Conditions of your life + the Voluntary activities you do
