Ecuația fericirii

Neil Pasricha looks at ways to feel happy at work. He looks at life at home, too. This self-help book offers readers steps toward a happier life. It draws on more than ten years of research. He uses insights from hundreds of experts in positive psychology. This field looks at what helps people thrive. He adds views from dozens of Fortune 500 leaders. He also draws on thousands of interviews he held himself.

The book asks how fewer choices can open new paths. What can healthy people aged 100 teach us about retirement? How can we use four words to deal with criticism? How can we cut the time spent choosing in half? Could one small change free an hour each day? How might a teacher earn more than a Harvard MBA graduate? What do many billionaires want but cannot get?

His examples come from Germany and Japan. He draws on faith, fiction and film. He turns to Buddha and Vonnegut, Hitchcock and Home Alone. He looks at how people meet and deal with others. He also looks at work and private life.

This is the second edition. Dan Balanescu translated it from English.
