Stumbling on Happiness

You think you know what will make you happy!! you’re wrong. And that’s the most fascinating part of being human.

In Stumbling on Happiness, psychologist Daniel Gilbert unravels the delightful mess of human prediction and desire. We spend our lives chasing experiences, relationships, and goals under the belief that they’ll bring us joy yet more often than not, our brains get it spectacularly wrong. With wit and sharp storytelling, Gilbert reveals how memory distorts the past, imagination misjudges the future, and why the things we thought would make us happy often leave us puzzled.

Far from depressing, Gilbert’s findings are liberating. By exposing the quirks and blind spots of our minds, he offers a lighthearted but profound guide to understanding happiness on its own terms. The book blends psychological research with laugh-out-loud anecdotes, turning complex science into a page-turning exploration of human nature.

Playful, clever, and deeply insightful, Stumbling on Happiness doesn’t just explain why we mispredict joy, it invites us to embrace uncertainty and find happiness in unexpected places. It’s science, comedy, and self-discovery all in one.
