typish's review against another edition
3.0
Very nice introduction to Positive Psychology.
The first chapter is worth the money for the whole book, showing several interesting and insightful correlations between happiness and almost every facet of human life.
The rest of the book tries to delve into technicalities, but I start to itch at the sight of wild hypothesis and doubtful analysis.
Also, I can't stop wondering why in the world one must always try to find "neurobiological correlates" to every damn psychological theory. It's Psychology, not Neurobiology!
Still, fun to read.
