Inhaltsverzeichnis

Foreword Thinking Allowed Part 1: Welcome to the Pleasure Dome In which we poke fun at the ‘human race’ and modernity, what with its busyness, infomania and musterbation. Part 2: The Human Operating System Tinkering under the bonnet of the human being we find out how the science of positive psychology can super-charge our lives. Part 3: The 3Rs (Relationships, relationships & relationships) Some solutions, happiness hacks and easy wins to improve your work and home life. Part 4: What Next for Homo Sapiens? Mind blowing stuff about consciousness and the nature of thought. Part 4 seeks to cement the learning from parts 1-3 and embed new thinking until it’s grooved in. Part 5: Yogi, BooBoo and the Homos Stretching the trilogy to a fifth part. Really? The missing link.
