Harvard Professor of happiness, Arthur Brooks, turns the tables on the idea of the “bucket list” as a way of achieving satisfaction, showing us where real joy and contentment are far more likely to be found, in the everyday investments of faith, deep relationships, meaningful work, and love. Drawing from research, experience, and timeless wisdom, he offers a refreshing vision of what it means to build a life that’s truly happy.
