Dan Gilbert is a Harvard psychologist who focuses on what makes people happy and how the brain affects happiness. He published the book Stumbling on Happiness, where he explores the idea that our minds convince us we will be happy with our decisions even if we don't get what we initially wanted. Gilbert explains that the prefrontal cortex acts as an "experience simulator" that allows us to imagine situations before experiencing them. He differentiates between synthetic happiness we feel when we don't get what we want versus natural happiness from obtaining our desires. Overall, the summary discusses Dan Gilbert's work on how the brain influences perceptions of happiness.
