The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom by Jonathan Haidt

Welcome to the Good Book Club Podcast where we make all our book club meetings and bonus events available for listeners to enjoy. This book club episode is a discussion of Johnathon Haight's "The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom."

"The Happiness Hypothesis" is a book 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. 

We absolutely loved this book and learned so much from it, and we know you'll really enjoy it too. Discussion leader Joel did an excellent job presenting the book. This bookclub meeting was originally held on Sunday, December 10th 2023.
