Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Clinical psychologists have been dealing with miserable feelings since their discipline was established. In the last 30 years, neuroscientists have made major headway in the understanding of the sources of anger, depression, and fear. Today, whole industries profit from this knowledge--producing pills for every sort of pathological mood disturbance. But until recently, few neuroscientists focused on the subject of happiness. Now, in The Science of Happiness, leading German science journalist Stefan Klein ranges widely across the latest frontiers of neuroscience and neuropsychology to explain how happiness is fostered in our brains and what biological purpose it serves (and, importantly, how we can control our negative feelings and emotions). In addition, he explains the neurophysiology of our passions (the elementary rules of which are hardwired into our brains), the power of consciousness, and how we can use it. In a final section, Klein explores the conditions required to foster the pursuit of happiness. A remarkable synthesis of a growing body of research that has not heretofore been brought together in one accessible book, The Science of Happiness will ultimately help each of us understand our own quest for happiness--and our fostering of it, as well.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. We all know what it feels like to be happy, but what mechanisms inside our brain trigger such a positive emotion? What does it really mean to be happyto desire and to enjoy; to experience the highs of love, passion and friendshipand why can't we feel that way all the time? Psychologists and neuroscientists have been studying negative emotions for decades, but until recently few have focused on the subject of happiness. In this enthralling book, one of the world's leading science writers ranges widely across the frontiers of neuroscience and psychology to explain how happiness is generated in our brains, what biological purpose it serves, and the conditions required to foster the 'pursuit of happiness'. A remarkable synthesis of a growing body of research that has rarely been brought together, The Science of Happiness is, ultimately, a book that helps us to understand our most cherished quest. …
