About the Book: In The Secret to Happiness, philosopher Frank Martela challenges the common pursuit of happiness, revealing why chasing it often leads to frustration and dissatisfaction. Drawing from Finnish culture, scientific research, and personal stories, he shows that living with purpose and contentment brings deeper fulfillment than simply striving to be happy. Martela encourages readers to unlearn harmful thought patterns—like obsessing over others’ opinions and overvaluing fleeting emotions. This insightful guide offers practical wisdom on how to cultivate lasting well-being by focusing on meaning rather than momentary pleasure. Ideal for readers interested in philosophy, psychology, and self-improvement, this book redefines the path to true happiness.
