This fully revised and updated edition of Happiness provides an
accessible introduction to the concept of happiness and how it can
be applied to public policy in order to help citizens achieve the
good life. Countries around the globe want to ensure the best for
their citizens. They want them to be happy, have a good life and
improve their well-being. It follows that, whilst happiness is
based upon individuals’ subjective perception of their own
situation, it is important to understand the concept of happiness
in order to form policies that might help individuals to achieve
what they believe will make them happier. Applying approaches from
disciplines across the social sciences, this book explores varying
notions of happiness and how these can be applied to create a
theoretical understanding of happiness as a concept. The book then
demonstrates how the concept of happiness can be used to analyse
social policy in welfare states in areas including work, health and
migration, as well as to evaluate everyday life and social
relationships. This book will be essential reading for students and
instructors in a range of subjects in the humanities and social
sciences with an interest in the concept of happiness and/or
welfare states.
