The Happiness Hypothesis: Ten Ways to Find Happiness and Meaning in Life by Jonathan Haidt

BATB score: 1/10 💔

Best to: I don’t want to read another page of this book. I can not read any more. BATB death page 45/243 🏴‍☠️

Best as: Happiness = Happiness Set Point (Meditation, Cognitive Therapy, Prozac) + Living Conditions (External Forces 70K USD/Year) + Voluntary Activities (Progress Principle [something to strive for], Immediate Feedback, Connection to Others); thank you Jeffrey Marr for the cartoon summary of this book - true life saver 🛟

Best for: go to the bookstore, pick up this book, turn to the last chapter titled “conclusion”, read that 2-pager, then see whether you understood anything (if anything at all) from that 2-page and rightfully gauge whether you can handle 243-pages more of those bundles of words - i challenge you!

BATB lingering thought: not all books are meant to be read
