Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of carrying only opinions for which you have strong supporting facts. When asked simple questions about global trends - why the world's population is increasing; how many young women go to school; how many of us live in poverty - we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers.

ストーリー
One afternoon - after another failed attempt to get motivated to exercise - I (accidentally) started my first mini habit. I initially committed to do one push-up, and it turned into a full workout. I was shocked. This "stupid idea" wasn't supposed to work. I was shocked again when my success with this strategy continued for months (and to this day). I had to consider that maybe I wasn't the problem in those 10 years of mediocre results. Maybe it was my prior strategies that were ineffective, despite being oft-repeated as "the way to change" in countless books.

Americans precede anything negative with three nice comments; French, Dutch, Israelis, and Germans get straight to the point; Latin Americans and Asians are steeped in hierarchy; Scandinavians think the best boss is just one of the crowd. It's no surprise that when they try and talk to each other, chaos breaks out. In The Culture Map, INSEAD professor Erin Meyer is your guide through this subtle, sometimes treacherous terrain in which people from starkly different backgrounds are expected to work harmoniously together.

Stephen R. Covey's book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, has been a top seller for the simple reason that it ignores trends and pop psychology for proven principles of fairness, integrity, honesty, and human dignity. Celebrating its 15th year of helping people solve personal and professional problems, this special anniversary edition includes a new foreword and afterword written by Covey that explore whether the 7 Habits are still relevant and answer some of the most common questions he has received over the past 15 years.

By forcing us to apply a more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy - instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us. Essentialism is not one more thing - it’s a whole new way of doing everything. It’s about doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.

Have you held dreams of success and happiness that you’ve failed to fulfill? Do you sometimes feel that, however much you’ve done, you are still, in part, an underachiever? If so, there is good news. Your past failures have no bearing on your future. And if you can change the way you approach your work, you can change the way you live. In The Pledge, best-selling author Michael Masterson teaches you how to reinvent your life by putting together a personal master plan.
あらすじ・解説
In Happier, Professor Ben-Shahar brings the ideas of the Ivory Tower to Main Street, distilling the lessons and exercises from his course into an audio trove of practical wisdom. Grounded in the Positive Psychology movement, based on years of researching the works of scientists, academics, and philosophers, Happier emphasizes the importance of pursuing a life of both pleasure and meaning. Lessons, exercises, and "Happiness Boosters" cover self-esteem, empathy, friendship, love, achievement, creativity, spirituality, and humor.
Questions will help listeners identify activities that will make them happier immediately, as they apply what they've learned to school, work, and personal relationships. You'll discover that happiness, not money, is the ultimate currency, that we can't be happy unless we first give ourselves permission to be human, and that happiness isn't so elusive after all.

Great Book. It has changed my perceptions on life. Much of it is common sense when you think about it. But many times, we have to clean the cob webs from our mind to see it by readin a well written and well read book like this. Very enjoyable.

I listened to this audio book on the drive to and from school. Tal-Ben Shahar's work is seminal to positive psychology and the the inner work of happiness.
The reader does a fantastic job conveying Shahar's passion and insight.

Love the book, annoyed by the "mother" ...
I enjoyed the book.
The reason I didn't rate 4 or higher is that a motherly figure popped out every now and then. She summarizes the section I just listened and her content and tone are as if she is talking to a baby!
Just recently started listening to it for the second time, then the annoying and lecturing "mother" showed up again, reminding me of the part I strongly dislike the book. Not sure the hardcopy book or the kindle version has the same lecturing "person"

Big disappointment
I was excited to read this book on happiness. I had been obsessed with the topic 7 years ago and had found some gems, I thought that this would further deepen my knowledge given that the author had a super popular class on happiness at Harvard. However I've found books like Stumbling on Happiness, and even another Harvard class called "What's the right thing to do" to be much more conducive to really understand how to be happy. This book just tells you to find activities that are pleasurable and bring long term benefits. It tried to get people to seek or create happiness. I strongly believe the opposite is true, happiness is something people are born with. We all start our lives happy, yet it's our biases, and overestimation of how good and bad different outcomes are that make us unhappy. Go ahead and read the book if you'd like but then please go pick up other books on Happiness and take all of them with a grain of salt.

Packed with Information
This book was jam packed with information and would probably be best read instead of listened to. It was full of ideas and quizzes that need to be absorbed and seen or written down. If you are primarily an auditory learner, it would be fine.

Smart, current and exactly what I wanted!
This audio book, while it may be a little slow to pick up- has made a huge difference in how I think about the world. Being a highly educated, and continuously questioning artist, I have been down many paths in search of truth. This book offers pragmatic, research based answers for spiritual and existential questions that make us inherently human. I am very glad the author chose to do the work to put this together. It has inspired me to focus more on the role work plays in my life.

Non-mainstream (but still great) view on happiness
Happiness is a really weird thing. We all chase it, directly or indirectly, and yet so many of us are still unhappy, anxious, depressed, etc. Though I’m not sure that any one book can truly solve all of your problems, this one can certainly provide a needed perspective on the subject of satisfaction.
In essence, this book’s aim is to show us that, on a societal level, we’re mostly unhappy because we chase things we think will eventually lead to happiness — not those that make us happy in and of themselves. For example, we spend years in jobs we don’t love because we think they will lead to big payoffs down the road.
Strategies like these can keep us stuck in the rat race, or worse, trapped in “golden handcuffs,” not happy with our jobs, but also not willing to give up our high living standards. Worse yet, such strategies can lead us to put happiness and success on pedestals. And when we ultimately get where we were looking to go, we often find that it’s not quite the paradise we were imagining. This can lead to burn out, depression, and nihilism, says the author.
The way out of this mess is to spend our time in pursuit of the things that make us happy directly — not those that may lead to it indirectly (like money, luxury goods, fame, etc). Throughout the book, the author goes in-depth on what this might look like for us, all while maintaining a practical, yet optimistic, outlook.
It’s a very good book and one that almost everyone could learn something from (myself included). It’s not necessarily mind-blowing, just very relatable and accurate. I would seriously recommend it to anyone.

Compelling, easy listen
I recommend this book as a way to gain perspective on one’s journey towards a fulfilling life. Some criticisms: The narrator reads in an overly enthusiastic manner, much like one would read a book to a child—it can get annoying. The author talks a lot about himself. Despite these things, I enjoyed the book overall.

Good information, but the narration let it down
I wanted to hear this as it was a best seller from a leading researcher in the field of positive psychology and I'd heard some good things about it. I wasn't disappointed! It explores the nature of happiness, provides many simple exercises to help you become happier and debunks some of the myths around this popular topic. And all in a very manageable 4 hours.
There’s certainly an element of self-help in the book as it’s designed to help you be happier, but it’s based on solid research which not all books in the self-help area are. I believe a solid research base is important if you’re making recommendations for what someone else should do with their life, but it isn't enough to make it an interesting 'read'. I don't know about you, but sometimes I find research-based material can come across as a bit dry and uninteresting, especially in an audio.
That’s definitely not something you need to worry about here though. In this case the author always uses lots of helpful everyday examples to apply the research principles to everyday life situations. I found this made it easy to try some of the suggestions myself. For me some worked, others...not so much.
As my headline states I thought the narration let the book down. The main narrator, a chap called Jeff Woodman, was great. He paced the material well and obviously understood it. However there are lots of exercises throughout the book right from the very start and they are read by a completely different narrator whose voice and tone doesn't in any way match those of Mr Woodman. The audio jumps from one voice to the other with no warning and I found this jarring. I would have preferred the exercises to be read by the main narrator, or maybe to have been available on an PDF as they are with some other books.
Overall a good purchase, definitely worth another listen.

Excellent Philosophy and Research
Would you listen to Happier again? Why?
Yes, I have listened to this 3 times so far and I will no doubt listen again
What was one of the most memorable moments of Happier?
None in particular, however I feel that the whole book is so relevant and informative to us all that the whole story is a must to be listened to.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, and I have listened to it all in one sitting twice.
Any additional comments?
This is an area of psychology that I am extremely interested and passionate about - however, you do not need to have any psychology knowledge to follow the book or any of the research referenced as it is so well told it relates to everyday life and situations.

okay I guess... some good bits
Started off well, but lost me from the middle as it went in to self help book mode which became boring fast. It has some good concepts to implement which with discipline I believe will lead towards life changing experiences and contribute to one feeling more happy.

This should be mandatory reading in school
Loved this book. Easy to read but so important and inspirational! It should be mandatory reading for every high school student. Left me seriously questioning my entire life and wishing I'd known this years ago. I'm also doing Tal's online course, and couldn't recommend it more. this stuff is life changing and so important (I know I said that already, but you get my point!)
