Description
Happiness by Tim Lomas offers a concise and engaging exploration of our current understanding of happiness. Drawing on various disciplines, including philosophy, sociology, economics, and anthropology, Lomas provides an expansive vision of what happiness means. He explores the concept of happiness through its relationship with wellbeing, flourishing, and other related ideas, tracing its development from ancient Buddhist notions to modern therapeutic and scientific approaches. The book examines the mechanics of happiness, discussing the physiological, psychological, phenomenological, and sociocultural processes that contribute to it. Lomas also considers the factors that influence happiness, both individually and socially, and discusses how happiness can be cultivated. This insightful exploration makes for a thought-provoking read on the nature of happiness and its significance in our lives.
