Go figure; everybody wants to be happy. What can evolutionary psychology say about how to be happy? As usual, I feel compelled to begin with a disclaimer that, as a scientist – as the scientific fundamentalist – I am in the business of giving advice to people and telling people how to live their lives. That’s the job of counselors and therapists, and, as Jesse Bering explains very clearly in his first post as a blogger, these two types of psychologists are entirely different.
Just like Jesse, I am a research psychologist, not a clinician. Having said that, however, from my perspective as an evolutionary psychologist, I would say that the best thing for people to do to become happier is to get in touch with their animal nature , if not necessarily their inner fish then at the very least their inner ape .

Pour que l'espèce humaine survive, il faut que des hommes et des femmes se rencontrent et éprouvent suffisamment d'attirance pour avoir des relations intimes. Les mécanismes de ces rencontres et leurs aléas nous fascinent depuis la nuit des temps. Depuis quelques années, la science s'est aussi intéressée au phénomène de l'amour. La façon dont les hommes et les femmes s'attirent, se rencontrent et décident de partager leur vie a été analysée par différentes disciplines. Plusieurs résultats de ces recherches sont cités dans L'Ordre des femmes. Du point de vue biologique.
