(For example, you might choose appropriate quotations from the book sprinkled from beginning to end, or simply address issues in the book that are raised near the end as well as issues that are raised near the beginning.

Themes/Questions to Answer:

What is the “conventional wisdom” about happiness that Layard presents?

Where is that conventional wisdom right and where is it wrong?

Where the conventional wisdom is right, what are the implications for your own life?

Note: Make sure that you don’t sound too much like ChatGPT. A hint about that is to be personal about “what are the implications for your own life.”
