Description
Happiness: Lessons from a New Science by Richard Layard explores a paradox at the heart of our lives. Despite increased income, many people do not experience greater happiness. Research has consistently shown that, on average, people have grown no happier over the last fifty years, even as incomes have more than doubled.
This revised edition addresses criticisms and updates the book to include recent developments in the field. Layard examines the evidence from various countries, including Britain, the United States, continental Europe, and Japan, to shed light on this puzzling trend.
