The Science of Happiness

Seven Lessons for Living Well
Book • 2024
In this book, Bruce Hood demonstrates that the key to happiness is not self-care but connection.

Grounded in decades of studies in neuroscience and developmental psychology, the book presents seven lessons to break negative thought patterns and re-connect with what truly matters.

These lessons include altering your ego, avoiding isolation, rejecting negative comparisons, becoming more optimistic, controlling your attention, connecting with others, and getting out of your own head.

The book offers practical takeaways to re-wire thinking and transform lives by focusing on connection and presence rather than egocentric perspectives and comparisons.
