Summary
Happiness is just around the corner with this practical guide from the internationally bestselling author of The Little Book of Hygge
Some people and even countries are simply happier than others. Meik Wiking, founder of the world's first Happiness Research Institute, has spent years crossing the globe to discover what makes people happy or unhappy and learn what each of us can do to improve our own well-being.
In The Key to Happiness he shares the scientific results of this quest, identifying the six building blocks of happiness; togetherness, money, health, kindness, trust and freedom. By incorporating a healthy balance of all six, each of us can live happier, more purposeful and satisfied lives.
While Meik has travelled across the globe to discover the secrets of the world's happiest people, this book shows us that you can be just as happy where you are.
'An inspiring and highly engaging exploration of what really makes us happy, all underpinned by the latest research' Dr Mark Williamson, Director of Action for Happiness
'A wonderful guide to happy living. It's based on hard evidence and written with a wonderful sense of fun' Richard Layard, Centre for Economic Performance, LSE and author of Happiness
