Très complet, enrichi de nombreux questionnaires et tests, cet ouvrage est un manuel d''apprentissage du bonheur. Il présente au lecteur de façon pratique les conclusions de la psychologie positive et lui montre comment les appliquer dans sa vie. La psychologie positive est en effet l''approche qui a révolutionné la psychologie en renversant son objet d''étude : elle s''est intéressée à comprendre non pas pourquoi une personne va mal mais ce qui fait qu''une personne aille bien ou comment naît le bonheur. Ce livre constitue ainsi à la fois un manuel de psychologie positive, clair et étayé, et un guide pratique et pragmatique pour comprendre à quoi tient le bonheur, "la vie bonne". Et se l''approprier !
