Tal Ben-Shahar became famous in the world of positive psychology as the author of the most popular training course at Harvard University (USA). In the book, he outlined the ideas that so captivated his students. About happiness as a universal equivalent to which each person strives (or at least should strive). That money and fame are good only as one of the ways to become happier. And most importantly, that people have a poor idea of where to look for happiness. In their youth, they choose the “wrong hamburger”: tasty and high-calorie hedonism, from which heaviness in the stomach and emptiness in the soul, tasteless vegetarian “rat race” for success, which will bring benefits and pleasure sometime later, or nihilism, from which there is no nothing good can be expected now or in the future. And although none of us can achieve happiness once and for all, but everyone has a chance to become happier by choosing the right «hamburger» — one that brings joy and satisfaction in the present and contributes to well-being in the future. About what obviously is not happiness, and about how to become happier in your studies, work and personal life, this optimistic book is written.
