An interesting book that starts with a great premise but is its own undoing. The tagline "this is the happiest story you will ever read" is wrong and not really representative of what goes on. The story is strange and points in the plot are loosely connected in order to tee-up a boat load of research evidence. The style can get a little tedious quickly, but I still think the book is worth a good 4 stars. For a lot of the filler and stuff you will skim over, there are some real gems here too and parts which will make you smile or get your attention. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Mr. Brooks cited like 200 studies over the course of the book, weaving the "science" in with the story of a fictional couple who embody some of the principles. I put "science" in quotes because science isn't really that good at figuring out people. I think Mr. Brooks would agree with me here. Still, he quotes study after study.
I don't think I'd recommend this unless you like to read the "Findings" section in Harper's, which I do. ( )
