Happiness by Design
Tor Dolan, purpose and pleasure are both basic constituents of happiness.
This is a bold and original move . Among the imperfect definitions of
happiness, the pleasure-purpose concept that Dolan offers is, I believe, a
strong contender. It is a good description of what I wish for my grandchil-
dren: a life that is rich in activities that are both pleasurable and meaningful.
Paul Dolan is an inveterate optimist who has overcome many obstacles on
his way to becoming an internationally recognized expert on wellbeing. The
optimism shows on every page of this book. In particular Paul is optimistic
about you, his reader. He believes that you can make your life both pleasur-
able and meaningful with deliberate choices, about the environment you
create for yourself and about the aspects of life that deserve your attention.
He offers a great deal of sound advice on how to make these choices and
how to follow through with them’ Daniel Kahneman |
