The world has reached unprecedented levels of wealth, but while we have succeeded in getting richer, we have failed in getting happier.

Their priorities are different. What can we learn from the world's happiest people? Condensing years of research from The Happiness Research Institute, hundreds of interviews, and thousands of studies and experiments - including new studies and experiments on smiling and the effect of social media on happiness - into a comprehensive, easy-to-read and beautifully illustrated guide to finding everyday happiness.
Each year we are given 365 days. Some of those pass us by without leaving a trace, and some seem to stick in our minds for ever. Do you remember your first kiss? Swimming in the sea on holiday? The first time you drove a car? Research has shown that when our senses are stimulated and that when we are conscious of our emotions, we are more likely to recall those precious moments - which is why those memories flood back to us so easily. But those happy memories don't have to be reserved for big life events. Drawing on global surveys, behavioural science experiments and data gathered by The Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, Meik is here to show how we can we can turn ordinary experiences into something extraordinary. Whether it's eating dinner at the table rather than in front of the TV, exploring a new part of your neighbourhood, or planning how you're going to celebrate your small wins, this book will help you find the magic in the every day, and create memories you will cherish forever.

When our senses are stimulated, when we harness the power of first experiences, and when we are conscious of our feelings and emotions, we are more likely to hold on to our happy memories. Using research on happiness, Meik Wiking explores how we can learn to create happy memories and be better at holding on to them.
