Introduction is a little callous to some of the philosophy underpinning a discussion of values (particularly his willingness to be completely baffled by others' belief), but at least he makes his assumptions clear. I expect to agree with Harris overall, but playing devil's advocate, he admits that negative individual episodes (e.g. depression) can yield a better end, yet dismisses any societal equivalent.

Cross references a lot of other modern psychologists' work. Refutes some of Jonathan Haidt's moral relativism (a lá The Happiness Hypothesis) in Chapter 2 - Good and Evil
