The pursuit of happiness is a defining theme of the modern era. That is the question posed by this book, the first comprehensive philosophical treatment of happiness, understood here as a psychological phenomenon. But what if people aren't very good at it?
This is largely because human nature is surprisingly ill-suited to the pursuit of happiness. Engaging heavily with the scientific literature, Dan Haybron argues that people probably know less about their own welfare, and may be less effective at securing it, than common belief has it. For the happiness that counts for well-being is not a matter of what we think about our lives, but of the quality of our emotional conditions.
Yet our emotional lives are remarkably difficult to grasp. Moreover, we make a variety of systematic errors in the pursuit of happiness. These considerations suggest that we should rethink traditional assumptions
