"What a fascinating book! With a cerebral approach, this book analyzes the key components of happiness over time, and it is an enlightening read for leaders in the workplace who aspire to motivate individuals at their fundamental core for a greater, sustainable good."
Caroline Kiernan Lodato
"Carlin and Capps present a fascinating and delightful excursion into the great variety of thoughts on happiness throughout the past one hundred years. Easy to read but full of reflection, this book explores the gamut on happiness: from what happiness means and how we cultivate it to whether Americans are artificially happy. We are reminded that, in contrast to amassing wealth or being envious, meaningful relationships, work, helping our neighbor, and accepting ourselves go a long way towards happiness. And let's not forget about the importance of sorrow in the happy life."
Robert C. Dykstra
"Nathan Carlin and Donald Capps inflict some serious damage on the notion that attaining happiness is beyond human agency or reach. Encyclopedic in scope, engrossing in detail, and enriching in wisdom, 100 Years of Happiness makes you want to roll up your sleeves, get to work (and play), and be glad."
Jaco Hamman
"Historically acute, 100 Years of Happiness offers hope for all who seek a harmonious life and know it is no joke. Carlin and Capps combine wisdom, humility, and fearless irony as they invite their readers to author happiness for themselves. Zesty and visionary, this book whets one’s appetite for happiness.
