4. Die Glücksformel
Drawing on findings from neuroscience and psychology, the book explains what reliably increases human well‑being and what doesn’t: lasting happiness depends less on income or external circumstances and more on social bonds, meaningful goals and mental habits. It describes how brain systems for reward, stress and bonding influence moods and behaviour, dispels common myths about quick fixes, and stresses the importance of attention, gratitude, small daily rituals and deliberate practice to overcome habituation. Practical, research‑based strategies are offered to reshape routines and thought patterns so readers can cultivate more sustainable, everyday contentment.
