To Be or Not To Be Happy: Perspectives on Well-being - Paperback

by Austin Mardon (Author), Thomas Banks (Author), Madeline Langier (Author)

Happiness is not a simple thing. It might seem simple on the surface, but across cultures, times, and individual outlooks, the definition of what happiness is shifts and changes constantly. This book looks at numerous perspectives on happiness and well-being found the world over, the ways they differ and relate, how modern and historical science support them, and where they are affected by economics, social influences, and even our own minds.
