Million-selling wellbeing guru and psychiatrist Anders Hansen' s breakthrough guide to understanding why the human brain isn' t evolutionarily wired for happiness - and how we can take practical steps to feel better. As a species, we' ve never had it so good. We' re living longer and healthier lives than ever before; the sum of human knowledge and endless entertainment are only ever a few clicks away. So why are we in the midst of a mental health crisis? The Happiness Cure offers a radical new way to think about fulfilment. Blending neuroscientific research and empirical breakthroughs with stories of ordinary individuals, leading psychiatrist and viral TedX speaker Dr Anders Hansen reveals that by adopting an evolutionary take on life, we can re-set our perspective on happiness to find longer-term meaning and lasting contentment.
