The Science of Happiness
The international bestseller. An enthralling exploration of the science of happiness. We all know what it feels like to be happy, but what mechanisms inside our brains trigger such a positive emotion? What does it really mean to be happy, and why can’t we feel that way all of the time? Psychologists and neuroscientists have been studying negative emotions for decades, but until recently few have focused on the subject of happiness. Now, in The Science of Happiness, leading science journalist Stefan Klein ranges widely across the latest frontiers of neuroscience and psychology to explain how happiness is generated in our brains, what biological purpose it serves, and the conditions required to foster the ‘pursuit of happiness’. A remarkable synthesis of a growing body of research that has not been brought together before, The Science of Happiness is, ultimately, a book that helps us understand our own quest for happiness — and is certain to help make you happier.

The Secret Pulse of Time
From one of Europe's leading science journalists, and author of the international bestseller The Science of Happiness (Scribe, 2006), comes a fascinating, wonderful book about time. The Secret Pulse of Time answers fundamental questions about time. Why does time fly when we are happy? Why do minutes pass so slowly when we are waiting impatiently? How can we truly appreciate the present moment despite leading over-extended lives? Stefan Klein brings a journalist's eye for detail to illuminate the highways and byways of time - always with the goal of guiding us to better master time (and to understand why we so often fail to do so). Woven into his narrative are dozens of ways to do just this, including how not to lose your head when a deadline is quickly approaching; how the present becomes a memory, and vice versa; how to attune your inner clock for more productive, satisfying days; and how to prevent each day's fast tempo from having a detrimental effect on your overall enjoyment of life.
