Happy aims to reclaim happiness and to enable us to appreciate the good things in life, in all their transient glory.

Analizând descoperirile revoluționare ale psihologiei, Punctul ideal ne arată cum tipul potrivit de suferință pregătește terenul pentru împlinire. Nu suntem în mod natural hedoniști. Deși de multe ori asociem o viață bună cu plăcerea și cu lipsa eșecului, efortul, lupta și greutățile, precum și frica sau tristețea, ne pot duce, în contextele potrivite, la o viață cu sens, la satisfacții morale și la bucuria cunoașterii.
