GLÜCK: What a gap year taught us about happiness

Is it worth giving up everything in pursuit of happiness? Does money buy joy? Is it possible to be happy at work? It was the search for these answers that motivated journalists Karin Hueck and Fred Di Giacomo to quit their jobs and investigate happiness. Over the course of a year-long sabbatical, they spoke with philosophers, doctors, psychologists, religious leaders, artists, and ordinary people (who led extraordinary lives) to answer the most important question of all: can we be happier? This book brings together the couple's discoveries—not always obvious, not always easy—and invites the reader to rethink their lives.
