This book should've been called The Happiness of Architecture instead. Since it's called The Architecture of Happiness, I thought it would revolve around Positive Psychology. But as the Filipino saying goes "maraming namamatay sa maling akala" which simply says I should've had the presence of mind to read the blurb and have a gist of what the book was really about.

I had high hopes for this one, seeing as that it was written by Alain de Botton, the founder of The School of Life, an organization that I subscribe to and am a big fan of. If I'm going to be honest with myself, I will most probably not finish this. All the parts that I've read are just repeating summaries of the previous parts with a little bit of added information into it (and the information, although it sheds light upon certain things, did not make for a more compelling read). It feels like I'm just going around in circles. I'm sure what he wanted to say would have been really insightful, I was just not on board with the execution.
