I've just noticed that the first two books listed here make it seem like I'm into self-help books. Certainly, Carnegie's is self-help, but I was curious about its lasting appeal. Having read it, I'm still not sure why it has had such lasting appeal.
Gilbert's book, though, is not really about finding happiness in a wanky sense. Basically, it's about the tricks the mind plays as we go about living.

Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilbert
Now begins the list of books I've finished reading.
The plan is to post the book title the day I've finished reading it.
I like lists.
