Jonathan Haidt skillfully combines two genres-philosophical wisdom and scientific research-delighting the reader with surprising insights. He explains, for example, why we have such difficulty controlling ourselves and sticking to our plans; why no achievement brings lasting happiness, yet a few changes in your life can have profound effects, and why even confirmed atheists experience spiritual elevation. In a stunning final chapter, Haidt addresses the grand question "How can I live a meaningful life?," offering an original answer that draws on the rich inspiration of both philosophy and science. "The Happiness Hypothesis is a wonderful and nuanced book that provides deep insight into the some of the most important questions in life -- Why are we here? What kind of life should we lead? What paths lead to happiness? From the ancient philosophers to cutting edge scientists, Haidt weaves a tapestry of the best and the brightest. His highly original work on elevation and awe -- two long-neglected emotions -- adds a new weave to that tapestry. A truly inspiring book."-- David M. Buss, author of The Evolution of Desire: Strategies of Human Matingbr> "In this beautifully written book, Jonathan Haidt shows us the deep connection that exists between cutting-edge psychological research and the wisdom of the ancients. It is inspiring to see how much modern psychology informs life's most central and persistent questions" -- Barry Schwartz, author of The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less "In our quest for happiness, we must find a balance between modern science and ancient wisdom, between East and West, and between "left brain" and "right brain" risqu (c)on Haidt has struck that balance perfectly, and in doing so has given us the most brilliant and lucid analysis ofvirtue and well-being in the entire literature of positive psychology. For the reader who seeks to understand happiness, my advice is: Begin with Haidt." -- Martin E.P. Seligman, Director, Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania and author of Authentic Happiness "Haidt is a fine guide on this journey between past and present, discussing the current complexities of psychological theory with clarity and humor. . . Haidt's is an open-minded, robust look at philosophy, psychological fact and spiritual mystery, of scientific rationalism and the unknowable ephemeral -- an honest inquiry that concludes that the best life is, perhaps, one lived in the balance of opposites." -- Bookpage

Ready for Every Call - No More Hunting for Headphones
This headphone mount was a quick and easy win. Installation took less than a minute, and it immediately made a difference in keeping my desk clean and organized. I mounted it on the side of my monitor, and now my headphones are always within reach but out of the way.
It’s especially useful for scheduled meetings and those last-minute Teams calls, no more scrambling to find my headset. The soft silicone cradle is a nice touch and does a good job protecting the headphone band without any pressure or wear.
Simple, effective, and exactly what I needed to cut down on desk clutter.

Great product
Product really works good. My headphones stay right in its place. The item doesn't destroy the back of the monitor easily to remove for later.

Easy and quick instructions and set up.
I just got this headphone stand for my monitor and it works great! Easy to install and gets headphones off my desk. I like that the piece that the headphones sit on is made of a soft rubber product so it keeps the headphones in place and doesnt slide around on it. I highly recommended this product to help organize and clean up your desk space to make more room for coffee. :).

Good product, decent stick
it's okay. The first night I had it on my monitor one of my cats yanked it down somehow and after that it lost all it's stick entirely. I was upset about it at first but after some hardcore taping it seems to be holding up just fine. The sticky parts that it comes with don't seem to be as strong as I thought but It's not too hard to fix and the headphones stand part itself is fairly well made and a good space saver.
Overall I really enjoy this purchase. I do think there's room to improve on the hold and stick to the monitor, but it's so nice and convenient to have my headphones off my desk space completely that I'm willing to MacGyver the hold to make it work.
