The best-selling author of The Righteous Mind draws on philosophical wisdom and scientific research to show how the meaningful life is closer than you think.
The Happiness Hypothesis is an audiobook about ten Great Ideas. Each chapter is an attempt to savor one idea that has been discovered by several of the world's civilizations - to question it in light of what we now know from scientific research, and to extract from it the lessons that still apply to our modern lives and illuminate the causes of human flourishing.
Award-winning psychologist Jonathan Haidt, the author of The Righteous Mind, shows how a deeper understanding of the world's philosophical wisdom and its enduring maxims - like "do unto others as you would have others do unto you", or "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" - can enrich and even transform our lives.

But I found this book extremely helpful and the author explains the happiness hypothesis by comparing modern psychology as well as old religious scriptures (with great emphasis on Buddhist and Hindu scriptures).
I like how he went on to question and even in some cases challenge the happiness principles of old scriptures.
I would definitely recommend this book for one reason only. It has challenged my beliefs and encouraged me to think and question a lot of ideas in my mind. It has motivated to have an inner debate in my previously held beliefs.
This is going to be a very interesting read irrespective of your professional background. I would definitely recommend you to invest in this book.
Cheers !!
