Arthur C. Brooks writes popular non-fiction about happiness, work, ageing, relationships and public life. From Strength to Strength examines the career transition that can come when abilities and professional status change with age, arguing for a shift towards different forms of purpose and contribution. Build the Life You Want, written with Oprah Winfrey, turns happiness research into a practical framework for habits, relationships and emotional management, while Love Your Enemies focuses on contempt and disagreement in politics. Brooks combines social-science research with personal examples, philosophy and self-help exercises. His books fit happiness studies, personal development and work-and-life planning, especially for readers who prefer research summaries and structured advice to memoir-led self-help. Read more Less
