David Hunter’s Reviews > The Algebra of Happiness: Notes on the Pursuit of Success, Love, and Meaning > Status Update

I can see why a lot of people are giving this negative reviews: they are ignorant of a lot of the well-established psychological and sociological research that backs up many of the author's statements.

The other reason, as I see it, is that this book is another case of a book that might look like a guide, but is really just a collection of musings / writings.
