A passionate, provocative book. It isn't just a self-help book. It is a manifesto for a better society (The Times)
One of the most rigorous articulations of the new mood of acceptance...a persuasive demolition of many of our cultural stories about how we ought to live (Oliver Burkeman Guardian)
A star (Daniel Kahneman)
[Praise for Happiness by Design] Few books change one's life; in 48 hours this has improved mine (Jenni Russell Sunday Times)
[Praise for Happiness by Design] Dolan is especially illuminating when it comes to bigger life-choices . . . His book is a powerful reminder not to get caught up in overthinking things, but to focus instead on maximising what actually delivers joy . . . and most of us would benefit from listening to him (Oliver Burkeman Guardian)
[Praise for Happiness by Design] Outstanding, cutting-edge, and profound (Nassim Nicholas Taleb, bestselling author of The Black Swan and Skin in the Game)
[Praise for Happiness by Design] The book that will make you quit your job (New Statesman)
A very useful antidote to the pressures of modern living. Very few books change the way you think about yourself, but this is one of them. I would particularly recommend it to young adults with all these life choices ahead of them. (Tablet)

Paul Dolan, the bestselling author of Happiness by Design, shows us how to escape the myth of perfection and find our own route to happiness.
Be ambitious; find everlasting love; look after your health ... There are countless stories about how we ought to live our lives. These narratives can make our lives easier, and they might sometimes make us happier too. But they can also trap us and those around us.
In Happy Ever After, bestselling happiness expert Professor Paul Dolan draws on a variety of studies ranging over wellbeing, inequality and discrimination to bust the common myths about our sources of happiness. He shows that there can be many unexpected paths to lasting fulfilment. Some of these might involve not going into higher education, choosing not to marry, rewarding acts rooted in self-interest and caring a little less about living forever.
By freeing ourselves from the myth of the perfect life, we might each find a life worth living.
