Descriere: Los científicos y académicos llevan años intentando descubrir qué es lo que hace feliz a la gente. Pero sus investigaciones tienden a quedar escondidas en diversas publicaciones académicas y científicas, sin jamás llegar al alcance de la gente común. Por eso, en Los 100 Secretos dela Gente Feliz, el científico social y psicólogo, David Niven, Ph.D., nos presenta de manera clara y comprensiva, lo esencial de los miles de estudios científicos que se han hecho acerca de la felicidad. El autor ilustra con ejemplos y explicaciones, cada una de las cien técnicas, actitudes y costumbres que nos ayudan a transformar una vida mediocre y sin gracia, en una vida llena de felicidad. CREE EN TI MISMO: No importa la edad, el sexo o el origen: creer en sí mismo aumenta la satisfacción en la vida de un 40 por ciento, haciéndonos más felices tanto en la casa como en el trabajo. APAGA LA TELEVISIÓN: Mirar demasiada televisión puede triplicar nuestro antojo de posesiones, lo que reduce nuestro nivel de satisfacción personal de 5 por ciento por cada hora de televisión que miramos. NO OLVIDES DIVERTIRTE: La diversión es una de las cinco claves para llevar una vida satisfecha. La gente que se toma el tiempo de divertirse tiene 20 por ciento más de posibilidades de ser feliz, y 36 por ciento más de posibilidades de sentirse a gusto con su edad y la etapa en la que se encuentra en la vida.

He walked and ate with his eyes shut, refused to bathe, burst into fits of rage, slithered against walls, and used his limbs instead of his hands to touch light switches, doorknobs, and faucets.
