Book Review of Stumbling on Happiness

Stumbling on Happiness
Sue-in-AZ avatar reviewed on + 108 more book reviews


Very similar to Malcolm Gladwell's books in concept. At little too much theory and not quite enough practical examples though.

This was an enjoyable read, but left me a little dissatisfied at the end. After the whole book describing the shortfalls of human imagination and prediction, there's no real "solution". The author even admits there is no solution - which takes the edge off a little.

I'd recommend this book to anyone interested in how their own brain works - and doesn't work - as you navigate through your life.
