Hermann Hauser, FRS, FREng, KBE, Amadeus Capital Partners 'This engaging and highly accessible book provides a treasure trove of information about how to increase wellbeing across the lifespan. Unlike many 'quick fix' books about achieving happiness, this one focuses on seven well-documented correlates of wellbeing. Rather than simply telling the reader what to do, the authors draw upon deep knowledge in behavioural and cognitive neuroscience to explain what seems to link these factors to wellbeing, why changing behaviour can improve health and mental health, and how to overcome the inertia we all face when trying to change our habits. To other readers, my advice is, pay attention to this one!' Terry L. Jernigan, Distinguished Professor of Cognitive Science, Psychiatry, and Radiology, University of California, San Diego
