The definitive work in history thus far

Bysensible77on February 2, 2013

Kahneman and coauthors' Well Being is the first comprehensive review of the scientific research on human happiness. This subject could not be more important to almost everyone. The book's length, diversity and depth of analysis present both a challenge and a stellar opportunity to anyone who is intensely interested in happiness and who has the behavioral science education and experience required to read through it with understanding.

Very dense ideas

Had to read and re read to understand concept. Worth the struggle for an older adult wanting reasons for a cluttered humanity

Great reference material

ByRoyce A. Hernandezon February 2, 2002

Format: Hardcover

The book is highly recommendable for those interested in hedonic psychology especially Subjective Well-Being (a.k.a. Happiness). It covers a wide range of chapters which include definitions, measurement, clarifications/reactions, recent findings and researches. Its probable drawback is that, to a certain degree, it is somewhat very technical in approach. Not too many readers might easily grasp some contents/materials presented. Nonetheless, it is a great reference material.
