"Outstanding, cutting-edge, and profound. If you're going to read one book on happiness, this is the one."

Whether you're a novice or a voracious consumer of happiness research, Happiness by Design hits all the right notes."
--Adam Alter, bestselling author of Drunk Tank Pink
"Dolan gives a comprehensive overview of the science of happiness and useful tips to achieve it. In his quest to explain what makes us happy, Dolan touches on a powerful idea: happiness need not be pursued, simply rediscovered. In other words, sources of pleasure and purpose are all around us, if only one knows where to look."
