The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom - Jonathan Haidt - A Short Summary & Review
A short summary of The Happiness Hypothesis:
The common ethical threads that contribute to happiness worldwide.
My favorite Jonathan Haidt quote from the book:
"One of the most consistent lessons the ancient sages teach us is to let go, stop striving, and choose a new path. Turn inward, or turn toward God, but for God's sake stop trying to make the world conform to your will."
Questions to ponder while reading the book:
Do you follow a source of ancient wisdom?
Are you happy?
My review of The Happiness Hypothesis:
One of the best arguments for the interweaving of ethics and happiness.
A wide range of philosophies was examined.
Some threads were a little hard to follow.
