The Science of Happiness is a relatively new field of scientific research, and in this timely book, renowned psychiatrist Professor Brendan Kelly sifts through the most up-to-date findings to arrive at a comprehensive set of principles and strategies that are scientifically proven to increase happiness levels. Firstly, Professor Kelly examines the global research that reveals current trends in happiness, such as those with right-wing political views being happier than those on the left; having a baby increasing happiness levels for two years; 47 being the age of greatest unhappiness; and Finland being the happiest country. He then explains the six overarching principles of a happy life and seven strategies for achieving it – without having to switch political allegiance or move to Finland. Although happiness cannot be purposely built, we can create the circumstances in which happiness is more likely to flourish and so increase our well-being. To this end, the various strategies outlined in this book combine research evidence with scientific, psychological, and even spiritual advice to chart a happier path through our complex world.

'Brendan Kelly does a superb job at tackling that most bedeviling of things - happiness. One thing is for sure, reading this book will bring happiness a step closer in your life! 'Professor Luke ONeill
