I just acquired a very interesting book "Happiness: the science behind your smile" by Daniel Nettle (Oxford U.P.).Its mainly psychology with a biological flavour. Curiously, none of the recent economics work (Clark & Oswald, Layard etc) gets a mention though Kahneman does. Nettle has done lots of interesting stuff including work on laterality & on height and, unusually for a psychologist, does secondary data analysis e.g. the NCDS.
