Jaké jsou vnitřní charakterové rysy šťastných lidí? Jsou extroverti šťastnější než introverti? Jsou muži šťastnější než ženy? Pomáhá náboženská víra nastolit vnitřní pokoj a radost? Souvisí duševní pohoda s bohatstvím? Je pravděpodobné, že se šťastné děti stanou šťastnými lidmi? Jakou roli v osobním štěstí hrají přátelé? Je věk důležitým činitelem při pocitu štěstí? Co můžete dělat, abyste posílili svůj pocit duševní pohody? Kniha ústí v inspirující úvahu o tom, v čem spočívá tajemství šťastných lidí.“
