review 1: There is a genetically determined happiness set point which is a hardwired predisposition for happiness. This is between 20-50% of what goes into happiness. The other two components are voluntary behaviors and circumstances. We adapt to changing circumstances, the hedonic treadmill. Happiness dips during the forties has life goals seem harder to achieve.Keys to happiness:-Enjoy each day; br challenged and can meet challenges; foster good relationships; have faith; be healthy and optimistic; Compare down, not up and have enough not to be concerned with survival.
review 2: I enjoyed this book quite a bit because it's provocative without being prescriptive or offering trite suggestions of how stress reduction and commitment will solve all of your problems.

I like how the book focuses in on different realms and offers perspective on how to determine for yourself what may be missing. This book really inspired me. less
