Stumbling on Happiness
I thought this was a great general interest book on some of the research done on happiness, leaning heavily on study results while being very accessible. It points out some fascinating counterintuitive truths about what makes us happy, and certainly left me better equipped to do things in an examined manner. Another draw to the book was the author's fun, offhand style with plenty of wry humor included. It is not a serious tome, but nevertheless has a lot to tell us.
