What does happiness look like? For over 2,000 years philosophers have
searched for it, scientists have studied it--and great artists have
captured it in paint. Drawing upon his groundbreaking work in the
psychology of happiness and mindfulness, Christophe André shares 25
paintings by a wide range of masters, including Van Gogh, Vermeer and
Chagall, and invites us to consider how they capture the many colors of
happiness in their art, alongside its inseparable shadow, sadness. This
beautiful book explains how to look at a painting and let the picture
speak and live within us. In this way, each painting holds a
life-changing lesson, helping us to feel, meditate and reflect--and
discover the meaning of happiness for ourselves.
