Abstract: Abstract It is said that a psychologist going through a famous university library in the late 1980s found 400 books on depression and only two on happiness, provoking him to try to fill the gap. Psychologists seemed to assume that, if you did not have depression, you were happy and that this seemingly trivial subject did not merit research time and effort.
