Harvard psychology professor Daniel Gilbert has spent a lifetime investigating the powers and limits of foresight. In Stumbling on Happiness, he explains why the grass grows greener until you get there and tells us why unhappiness never lasts as long as we think it will. Brilliantly original, yet solidly grounded in science.nnAmazon.comnDo you know what makes you happy? Daniel Gilbert would bet that you think you do, but you are most likely wrong.
