What does it really mean to be happy, and why can't we feel that way all of the time? This book helps us understand our own quest for happiness and helps to make you happier.

The international bestseller. An enthralling exploration of the science of happiness.

We all know what it feels like to be happy, but what mechanisms inside our brains trigger such a positive
emotion? What does it really mean to be happy, and why can’t we feel that way all of the time? Psychologists and neuroscientists have been studying negative emotions for decades, but until recently few have focused on the subject of happiness.

Now, in The Science of Happiness, leading science journalist Stefan Klein ranges widely across the latest frontiers of neuroscience and psychology to explain how happiness is generated in our brains, what biological purpose it serves, and the conditions required to foster the ‘pursuit of happiness’. A remarkable synthesis of a growing body of research that has not been brought together before, The Science of Happiness is, ultimately, a book that helps us understand our own quest for happiness — and is certain to help make you happier.

Stefan Klein, born in 1965, is Germany’s most successful science author and is recognised as one of Europe’s most influential science writers and journalists. After studying physics and analytical philosophy in Munich, Grenoble, and Freiburg, he turned to writing because he ‘wanted to inspire people for a reality that is more exciting than any crime thriller’. His books, which have been translated into more than 25 languages, include the #1 international bestseller The Science of Happiness, The Secret Pulse of Time, Leonardo’s Legacy, and We Are All Stardust. He lives and works as a freelance writer in Berlin.
