story teller gets his hands on fundamental research about what
makes for happier lives. It contains a masterful survey of the
key results from happiness research, a distillation of shrewd tips
for improving the lives of those around you, and a brilliant
world-wide selection of illustrated examples that deliver happy
moments, of both the 'ah-ha' and 'ha-ha' types. It is a happy
book about happiness, written with a twinkle and packaged with
Danish style' -- John Helliwell * Economist and Editor of the

'Drawing on insights from psychology, the study of happiness and
global data, Meik Wiking makes a strong case for why happiness
matters and how, through practical activities, we can increase
our own wellbeing' -- Dr David Halpern * Chief Executive of the
Behavioural Insights Team and author of The Hidden Wealth of
Nations *
'Happiness can be elusive, even for people who are mentally
healthy. Many people, such as those with depression or anxiety who
are struggling through darker times, may feel they want to give up
the fight. That is why the charming and thought-provoking The
Key to Happiness could lighten, guide and inspire so many'
-- Marjorie Wallace * CEO of SANE mental health charity *
Travelling around the world, he learns what works best where and
distils these lessons into a lovely life plan that
celebrates community spirit, from communal gardening to dog sitting
and the benefits of hanging out with friends and family *
