Pete writes “Point your browser to the BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6657843. stm (does anybody say “point your browser to” anymore?) for the happy news of the Royal Society Prize winner.

A scientific exploration of the various ways people attempt to make themselves happy has won the annual Royal Society Prize for Science Books.

Daniel Gilbert’s Stumbling on Happiness had been tipped as the favourite to win the prestigious £10,000 award.”
