However, he acknowledges that his sources are skewed toward the high achieving and professional American and is this ever true.If ambitious and fun-loving in your 20s, busy and very successful in your 30s, a bit disappointed in your 40s, but increasingly content and suddenly aware of the rest of humanity beyond 50 isn't your life trajectory, you may feel this book is a bit shallow and obvious. However, if your life has always been pretty fab and you find yourself concerned at 48 that you are sliding into a never ending funk with diminishing reason to live for the rest of your life, then hold off on the divorce/motorcycle/alcohol for at least as long as it takes to read this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The most important guide to your life you will ever read *by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2018* This is without question the most important book I have ever read (and I've lost count at my age of how many books, thousands...). Written like a detective novel, but non-fiction, Rauch cleverly and powerfully combines insights from economists, psychologists and other experts to address a question that has baffled mankind for ages -- which is why so many people feel worse as they age (having nothing to do with their health, income, social status) and then more or less around 50 begin to feel more satisfied with their lives. Everyone, regardless of age, should read this book. If you're well under 50, it will warn you of potentially rocky times ahead, and if you're OK, you'll finally understand what you very likely have lived through but couldn't explain what or why you felt the way you did. This book is a masterpiece, and one you can't put down once you start. To say it's a tour de force is not to do it justice. Whatever prizes this book should win, it should win (though the author will tell you why the good feeling he will earn from this will be fleeting). There are similar lessons for the rest of us. Don't wait, buy this book, read it, and bask in the glow. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant and important—A must-read for anyone over 40 *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2018* It’s hard to put into words, especially within the confines of an Amazon review, exactly what is so wonderful about this book. The writing, of course, is sublime – Jonathan Rauch is one of the best journalists of his generation, and he has an almost preternatural ability to write compellingly about even the most complicated subjects. But the subject matter, of course, is what really makes this book required reading for anyone approaching, in the middle of, or leaving middle-age. In a word, what this book has to offer is hope – hope for people who are going through hard times in middle-age, hope for people who find themselves doing OK in middle-age but nervous about what old age may hold, and frankly, hope for anyone who thinks or worries at all about how life changes as you get older. The message Rauch delivers is comforting, smart, insightful, and relentlessly optimistic. There’s not a lot of optimism in our world today, and cynicism seems to be the coin of the realm for many people. Not so with Jonathan Rauch. His book is a welcome antidote to that corrosive mindset. I cannot recommend it highly enough. It’s the kind of book that you will not only find yourself underlining constantly, but that you will tell friends they have to read with such pestering insistence that they might think something’s a little bit wrong with you. The book is just that damn good. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/66016347-the-happiness-curve-why-life-gets-better-after-50](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/66016347-the-happiness-curve-why-life-gets-better-after-50) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
