So Man Created God in His Own Image

The Science of Happiness

Published in 2019

Does the Creator of the Universe resemble the anthropomorphic description of God as depicted by the main religions? And does such a supreme being really care about the fate of mankind? If life senselessly ends at death, what purpose does a human strive for during his brief passage on Earth? Shouldn’t he strive to contribute to mankind’s collective well-being, and incidentally his own, rather than dogmatically obeying commands from a bygone era? In short, is it possible to be both realistic and happy? And what is true happiness beyond what religion or capitalism tries to sell us? With the exponential increase in the use of anti-depressants, we sadly cannot claim that all is well in society. But in order to repair a watch, one must first understand how it works. Fortunately, recent scientific discoveries decisively unveil the biological mechanisms underneath the hood of happiness.

Reader reviews

Prepare to be challenged by Romain's scholarship

Romain writes that this book has taken him 15 years to write. I can believe it, given the meticulous documentation, drawn from literally dozens of fields of human knowledge, the wide breadth of issues he considers, and the deep thought that must have gone into every page of this long book. […] If you are within this select readership, I recommend you take up Romain's challenges and read the book.

Get Ready To Cheer, Chafe, And Chortle

This is a thoroughly researched book that isn't afraid to puncture the Left, the Right, and everyone in between. From religion to politics to biology, Romain takes on everyone and everything, all backed by science with extensive footnotes and references.

Excellent read

This book was quite an interesting and truly enjoyable read. I was impressed with not only the author's way of laying out his views and observations but also with his back up/references. Whether you're religious or not, this book will open your mind.
