Historia
The Happiness Hypothesis is about ten Great Ideas. Each chapter is an attempt to savor one idea that has been discovered by several of the world's civilizations—to question it in light of what we now know from scientific research, and to extract from it the lessons that still apply to our modern lives and illuminate the causes of human flourishing. Award-winning psychologist Jonathan Haidt, the author of The Righteous Mind, shows how a deeper understanding of the world's philosophical wisdom and its enduring maxims can enrich and even transform our lives.

Historia
The ups and downs of the economy prove Rabbi Daniel Lapin's famous principle that the more things change, the more we need to depend upon the things that never change. There's no better source for both practical and spiritual financial wisdom than the time-tested knowledge found in the ancient Jewish faith and its culture. In the second edition of Thou Shall Prosper, Lapin offers a practical approach to creating wealth based on the established principles of ancient Jewish wisdom.

The Antidote is a series of journeys among people who share a single, surprising way of thinking about life. What they have in common is a hunch about human psychology: that it’s our constant effort to eliminate the negative that causes us to feel so anxious, insecure, and unhappy. And that there is an alternative "negative path" to happiness and success that involves embracing the things we spend our lives trying to avoid.

In this wise, humane inquiry, Csikszentmihalyi ( Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience) argues that genetically programmed behaviors that once helped humans adapt and multiply now threaten our survival. These traits include obsessions with food and sex, addiction to pleasure, excessive rationality, and a tendency to focus on the negative. A University of Chicago psychology professor, the author also believes we must free our minds of cultural illusions, such as ethnocentric superiority or identification with one's possessions.

Whenever we worry about what to eat, how to love, or simply how to be happy, we are worrying about how to lead a good life. No goal is more elusive. In How to Be a Stoic, philosopher Massimo Pigliucci offers Stoicism, the ancient philosophy that inspired the great emperor Marcus Aurelius, as the best way to attain it. Stoicism is a pragmatic philosophy that teaches us to act depending on what is within our control and separate things worth getting upset about from those that are not.

Historia
In Happy Derren Brown explores changing concepts of happiness - from the surprisingly modern wisdom of the Stoics and Epicureans in classical times right up until today, when the self-help industry has attempted to claim happiness as its own. He shows how many of self-help’s suggested routes to happiness and success – such as positive thinking, self-belief and setting goals – can be disastrous to follow and, indeed, actually cause anxiety. Happy aims to reclaim happiness and to enable us to appreciate the good things in life, in all their transient glory.

Creativity is about capturing those moments that make life worth living. Legendary psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi reveals what leads to these moments - be it the excitement of the artist at the easel or the scientist in the lab - so that this knowledge can be used to enrich people's lives. Drawing on nearly 100 interviews with exceptional people, from biologists and physicists, to politicians and business leaders, to poets and artists, as well as his 30 years of research, Csikszentmihalyi uses his famous flow theory to explore the creative process.

Charles Eisenstein explores the history and potential future of civilization, tracing the converging crises of our age to the illusion of the separate self. He argues that our disconnection from one another and the natural world has mislaid the foundations of science, religion, money, technology, economics, medicine, and education as we know them. It has fired our near-pathological pursuit of technological Utopias even as we push ourselves and our planet to the brink of collapse.

As the practice of mindfulness permeates mainstream western culture, more and more people are engaging in a traditional form of Buddhist meditation. However, many of these people have little interest in the religious aspects of Buddhism, and the practice occurs within secular contexts such as hospitals, schools, and the workplace. Is it possible to recover from the Buddhist teachings a vision of human flourishing that is secular rather than religious without compromising the integrity of the tradition?

What constitutes the good life? What is the true value of money? Why do we work such long hours merely to acquire greater wealth? These are some of the questions that many asked themselves when the financial system crashed in 2008. This book tackles such questions head-on.The authors begin with the great economist John Maynard Keynes. In 1930 Keynes predicted that, within a century, per capita income would steadily rise, people’s basic needs would be met, and no one would have to work more than fifteen hours a week.

From the millions-strong audiences of Oprah and The Secret to the mass-media ministries of evangelical figures like Joel Osteen and T. D. Jakes, to the motivational bestsellers and New Age seminars to the twelve-step programs and support groups of the recovery movement and to the rise of positive psychology and stress-reduction therapies, this idea - to think positively - is metaphysics morphed into mass belief. This is the biography of that belief.

Historia
By early 1943, it had become increasingly clear the Allies would win the Second World War. Christian intellectuals on both sides of the Atlantic thought the soon-to-be-victorious nations were not culturally or morally prepared for their success. These Christian intellectuals - Jacques Maritain, T. S. Eliot, C. S. Lewis, W. H. Auden, and Simone Weil, among others - sought both to articulate a sober and reflective critique of their own culture and to outline a plan for the moral and spiritual regeneration of their countries in the post-war world.

Not what I expected, not what I needed
I thought I was getting a book about how to make a plan on how to spend my time in retirement. Instead it is a book about philosophy and psychology and a lecture on the dangers of conspicuous consumption. Not at all what I was expected or needed.
I have 2 stars because there are some good nuggets Like an overview of philosophy from the beginning of time and a good lecture on being mindful of your spending.

Not close to retirment but good read
I'm only just starting my working career i don't think it's ever too late to start thinking of retirement. Honestly you should always start as early as possible. Sound financial planning is important. Book also dabbles on the psychological aspects of retirement. What do you do when you have to stop doing the thing you found so much enjoyment in ceases to exist?

A real disappointment!
The title as well as it is description of the book was terrifically misleading. Instead of a way to plan your retirement, it was basically just a vanity project about philosophy. It was 180° different than from what I thought I was going to be. Sigh...

Historia
A delightful and fresh perspective on retirement
Since I'm in my 60s and have an eye toward my future, I've seen a lot of books on retirement. Unfortunately, many of them are just variations on a theme: dull reading about making sure you have enough money to live without a job. So coming across Time for Wonderlust was not just a breath of fresh air, but a whole meadow's worth.
While the book does have a section on basic financial information and resources for comfortable retirement, it's focused much more on WHY to retire than on HOW to retire. This is a smart choice, because there are plenty of other books focused on the how--and they say pretty much the same things over and over. By comparison, I found Time for Wonderlust unique--and very refreshing.
Why should we retire? According to Time for Wonderlust author Forrest Wright, we should retire to pursue a passion! To find a purpose in life and have the time to explore it fully. His own passion is the world of ideas, and Time for Wonderlust gives us the benefit of his many years immersing himself in philosophers and philosophy. He's created a highly readable, clear, understandable summary of the world's great thinkers and their greatest work. Think of it as a single-volume course on the history of great thought, and how these great ideas shaped the world.
While my own passions run in a somewhat different direction, I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know these philosophers and their work. There are some I even want to explore in more detail. I might be listening to some biographies of famous philosophers soon. I'm a big believer in continuous learning, and anything that gives so much clarity to such a complex subject is a book worth reading and recommending. Well done, Forrest Wright!
