Book Synopsis
A look at a major longitudinal study of Harvard graduates that builds a case for rethinking how we define success and happiness.

Trade Review
"Extraordinary, almost unbelievable, that Kaufman has been able to track down and study in depth subjects who were first investigated decades ago. Using his rare, longitudinal data, he develops a sophisticated understanding of happiness and life satisfaction. He shows why it is that financial success is not as central as it is often thought to be. Our culture, he argues convincingly, has sold to the younger generation a false promise that attending a prestigious college and attaining wealth is 'a ticket to the good life.' Redefining Success in America does just what the title promises; it provides an original and creative answer to the question: 'What provides fulfillment?'"--James W. Anderson, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine
