Helpful Score: 2
This book is not a self-help book, but rather should appeal to those with an interest in psychology or sociology. Gilbert examines why our imaginations mislead us when we envision what will make us happy in the future. He uses as examples results of a number of experiments, and occasionally touches on economics and biology.
I enjoyed the author's writing style - he is very humorous, and writes in a way that makes his topic accessible. Also, he frequently recaps findings from previous chapters, which is good for someone like myself who tends to space out occasionally or start thinking about something else while reading. :-)
