Change what You Do, Not how You Think

Happiness by Design

'Smart, engaging and funny. It will make you question everything you think you know about what you want' Caroline Criado Perez, author of Invisible Women Be ambitious; find everlasting love; look after your health ... There are countless stories about how we ought to live our lives. These narratives can make our lives easier, and they might sometimes make us happier too. But they can also trap us and those around us. In Happy Ever After, bestselling happiness expert Professor Paul Dolan draws on a variety of studies ranging over wellbeing, inequality and discrimination to bust the common myths about our sources of happiness. He shows that there can be many unexpected paths to lasting fulfilment. Some of these might involve not going into higher education, choosing not to marry, rewarding acts rooted in self-interest and caring a little less about living forever. By freeing ourselves from the myth of the perfect life, we might each find a life worth living.

Escaping the Myth of the Perfect Life

Happy Ever After

Wie unser Tun das Fühlen verändert

Absichtlich glücklich

Échapper au mythe de la perfection et trouver sa propre voie vers le bonheur. Soyez ambitieux ; trouvez l'amour éternel ; faites attention à votre santé... Les conseils sur la façon dont nous devrions vivre notre vie sont innombrables. S'ils peuvent nous faciliter la vie et parfois nous rendre plus heureux, ils peuvent aussi nous piéger, nous et ceux qui nous entourent. Dans cet essai, Paul Dolan s’appuie sur diverses études portant sur le bien-être, les inégalités et la discrimination pour déconstruire les mythes de ce qui est censé nous mener au bonheur. Il montre qu'il peut y avoir plusieurs chemins inattendus pour parvenir à un accomplissement durable, comme ne pas faire d’études supérieures, ne pas se marier, privilégier l'intérêt personnel et se soucier un peu moins de vivre le plus longtemps possible. En nous libérant du mythe de la vie parfaite, nous pouvons tous accéder au bonheur.

Using what Dolan calls deciding, designing, and doing, we can overcome the biases that make us miserable and redesign our environments to make it easier to experience happiness, fulfillment, and even health.
