On one side: ten great ideas, discovered at different times and in different places by the civilizations that populate our Earth. On the other: the most recent scientific advances in psychology. From this confrontation between philosophy, religion and psychology, Jonathan Haidt proposes a set of lessons that can be applied to our everyday lives. Drawing on the results of modern research into happiness, illustrated by anecdotes from everyday life, Haidt describes the way we interact with others, as well as with ourselves. He skilfully guides us on a journey between past and present, while commenting with humor and pedagogy on the intricacies of psychological theories. It's an exploration that leads us to conclude that the best life is, without doubt, one in which we manage to balance opposites.
