How (and Why) to Boost Happiness by Enhancing Your Social Life
I’ve spent the past two years working on the “Blue Zones of Happiness” for National Geographic. I took a tack similar to previous Blue Zones books: I started by identifying the statistically happiest populations and then, through regression analysis and shoe-leather journalism, distilled the lessons they have to offer the rest of us. In profiling happiness paragons in Denmark, Singapore, Costa Rica, and Boulder, Colorado, I describe three measurable facets of happiness (Life Satisfaction, Positive Affect and Purpose) and uncover how these cities have achieved greater well being for their populations.
