Summary
Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert takes readers on a whirlwind tour of the human brain, exploring how our unique ability to imagine the future often leads us astray in predicting what will make us happy. Gilbert argues that the futures we envision are often distorted by our current emotions, our flawed memories, and our psychological blind spots - but recognizing these limitations, we can learn to more accurately forecast our feelings and maximize our well-being.

"All Men Seek Happiness"
"All men seek happiness. This is without exception. Whatever different means they employ, they all tend to this end. The cause of some going to war, and of others avoiding it, is the same desire in both, attended with different views. The will never takes the least step but to this object. This is the motive of every action of every man, even of those who hang themselves." - Blaise Pascal
