![]() ![]() The narration is excellent, but I found the subject matter so dry and drawn out that at times I found myself switching off and not really listening. In the chapter covering the importance of home to happiness, the author describes at length how he travelled to his childhood home and his feelings on finding it abandoned. How the author travelled to the interview, where they met, what they ate, etc. ![]() However, the circumstances of each interview are described in excruciating detail. To derive conclusions from the commentary of a few individuals seems to me to be quite unscientific. The author provides most of his insights from interviews he undertook with various people. ![]() The book is more of a story about the author's journey exploring the subject rather than concentrating on the subject itself. There is some useful nuggets of information, but they are embedded and almost hidden in a lengthy ramble. ![]() The book comes across to me as long-winded waffle. Having a book devoted to 'the science of where happiness comes from' I would have hoped that at the end I would have a definition of happiness and know how it affects the brain, what causes it and so on. I was very disappointed with this book (the audio version). ![]()
