'In my work as a social scientist, magazine publisher, and book author I have read all the books on happiness since the 1990s, so I was surprised - shocked really - to discover in Bruce Hood's book The Science of Happiness the most erudite, thoughtful, and original take on this important subject I have ever encountered. I learned something new in every chapter, and as a bonus it's a page-turning read. Bravo Professor Hood'
