Daniel Gilbert: Happiness May 22, 2006

Daniel Gilbert is a professor of psychology at Harvard University. He reveals in his latest book, Stumbling on Happiness, what scientists have discovered about the uniquely human ability to imagine the future and our ability to predict how much we will like it when we get there. Gilbert brings to life with humor and sharp insight the latest scientific research in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, philosophy, and behavioral economics and challenges what we think we know about how our minds work.
