The Happiness Formula

“For happiness seekers and happiness advocates everywhere, “The Happiness Formula: A Scientific, Groundbreaking Approach to Happiness and Personal Fulfillment” by Dr. Alphonso Obayuwana is a DIY life changing, life enhancing, life appreciating study that is especially ‘reader friendly’ in organization and presentation. Highly recommended for personal, professional, community, and college/university library Self-Help/Self-Improvement collections and supplemental Emotional Mental Health curriculum studies lists.”

—Midwest Book Review
“The Happiness Formula is a provocative and thoughtful book. As an economist who studies the many facets of well-being and its linkages to long-term outcomes—using very different measurement techniques—the focus of the book on the drivers of happiness, which the author identifies as hope and hunger, suggest many of the same channels that I find lead to better and longer lives.”
