The tagline "this is the happiest story you will ever read" is wrong and not really representative of what goes on. The story is strange and points in the plot are loosely connected in order to tee-up a boat load of research evidence.

Mr. Brooks cited like 200 studies over the course of the book, weaving the "science" in with the story of a fictional couple who embody some of the principles. I put "science" in quotes because science isn't really that good at figuring out people. I think Mr. Brooks would agree with me here. Still, he quotes study after study.
I don't think I'd recommend this unless you like to read the "Findings" section in Harper's, which I do. ( )
