Description
Happiness is a term we use every day, yet defining it can be challenging. This Very Short Introduction explores the nature of happiness, examining what it is, its importance in our lives, and how to pursue it.
By considering current thinking on happiness from psychology to philosophy, Dan Haybron illustrates diverse routes to happiness and reflects on contemporary ideas about living a good life. He also examines the influence of social context on our satisfaction and well-being.
