About this audiobook

What makes a life truly good—not just comfortable or successful? This book explores that timeless question through the ideas of twelve of history's most influential thinkers and researchers, from Epicurus and Aristotle to Seneca, Bertrand Russell, George Vaillant, Ed Diener, Daniel Gilbert, Sonja Lyubomirsky, Barbara Fredrickson, Elizabeth Dunn, Matthieu Ricard, and Tal Ben-Shahar. Drawing on philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and decades of research, each offers a different perspective on happiness and well-being. Yet despite their differences, they arrive at the same surprising conclusion: happiness is rarely found by pursuing it directly. Instead, it emerges as a byproduct of living with purpose, meaning, connection, and attention to what truly matters. Written by Nathan Cole, author of *The Money Masterclass* and *The Mindset Masterclass*.
