STUMBLING ON HAPPINESS
Daniel Gilbert
Alfred A. Knopf, 2006
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: To understand the cognitive bases and biases that allow or prevent happiness; to understand how our ability to imagine alternative futures shifts mental assessments to make one situation happy and another not.
Among the issues that Gilbert delves into are why individuals remember long medical procedures as less painful than short ones, why people order meals they don’t really want while dining with another person, why our mental blind spots cause us to live less happy lives than we could. This book can also apply to Cultural/Social psychology studies.
Daniel Gilbert is a Harvard College Professor of Psychology at Harvard University. He has won the APA’s Distinguished Scientific Award and has published extensively in cognitive social psychology.
