' Funny, wise and absolutely fascinating.' Adam Kay, author of This Is Going to Hurt Do you want to be happy? If so - read on. This book has all the answers* In The Happy Brain , neuroscientist Dean Burnett delves deep into the inner workings of our minds to explore some fundamental questions about happiness. What does it actually mean to be happy? Where does it come from? And what, really, is the point of it? Forget searching for the secret of happiness through lifestyle fads or cod philosophy - Burnett reveals the often surprising truth behind what make us tick. From whether happiness really begins at home (spoiler alert: yes - sort of) to what love, sex, friendship, wealth, laughter and success actually do to our brains, this book offers a uniquely entertaining insight into what it means to be human. *Not really. Sorry. But it does have some very interesting questions, and at least the occasional answer.

AU REVOIR, TRISTESSE - LESSONS IN HAPPINESS FROM FRENCH LITERATURE
Viv Groskop
- Abrams
- 10 June 2021
- 9781419747885
A blend of literary history, memoir, and self-help that shows how French literature can bring humor, happiness, and romance to our lives Like many people the world over, Viv Groskop wishes she was a little more French. A writer and comedian, Groskop studied the language obsessively starting at age 11 and spent every vacation in France, desperate to escape her Englishness and to have some French chic rub off on her.
In Au Revoir, Tristesse , Groskop mixes literary history and memoir to show how the classics of French literature can expose us to another way of living, infuse our days with joie de vivre, and teach us how to say goodbye to sadness.
Groskop explores the frothy hedonism of Colette, the wit of Cyrano de Bergerac , the intoxicating universe of Marguerite Duras, and the heady passions of Les Liaisons Dangereuses .
With chapters on Marcel Proust, Victor Hugo, Gustave Flaubert, Stendhal, Honore de Balzac, Albert Camus, and, of course, Francoise Sagan, this is a delectable read for lovers of books and all things French.
