The How of Happiness Recommends
The How of Happiness I would describe as the state of the art in evidence-based positive psychology. Sonja Lyubomirsky has done the best studies on how simple interventions, simple things you can do, on a daily or weekly basis, have measurable effects on your happiness. So if your goal is to actually raise your happiness level, then this is the best book to read – it has very concrete suggestions of what you can do.

The Paradox of Choice - Why More is Less Recommends
That work was done especially by Barry Schwartz, in his book The Paradox of Choice: Why More is Less. That is just such a good book...if I'd had six books, I would have included that one.

Stumbling on Happiness Loved

Ambition Recommends
Let's say that if the Buddha had been born in the Midwest of the US he would have written Brim's book. Brim has a Midwesterner's work ethic, and Americans moralise work quite a lot...so Brim says don't drop out of the game, play it, but play it so you don't get trapped, play it wisely, so that you get to enjoy the fruits of your labour.

Dhammapada Loved
The Dhammapada is one of the greatest psychological works ever written, and certainly one of the greatest before 1900. It is masterful in its understanding of the nature of consciousness, and in particular the way we are always striving and never satisfied.
