It's like reading a witty Malcolm Gladwell book. It's loaded with scientific facts and research, but it is also full of humor--making it an easy read. As the title suggests, the Harvard psychologist, Daniel Gilbert "describes the foibles of imagination and illusions of foresight that cause each of us to misconceive our tomorrows and misestimate our satisfaction."Citing the latest research data in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, philosphy and behavioral economics, Gilbert tells us about "what scientists have discovered about the uniquely human ability to imagine the future, and about our capacity to predict how much we will like it when we get there."
If you think you know what makes you happy, try this. It may change your mind...for the better!
