This book focuses on what makes people happy. The author explains
methods for measuring subjective life satisfaction and well-being
by discussing economic and sociodemographic factors, as well as the
psychological, cultural and political dimensions of personal
happiness. Does higher income increase happiness? Are people in
rich countries, such as the United States, the United Kingdom and
Scandinavian countries, happier than those living elsewhere? Does
losing one's job make one unhappy? What is the role of genetic
endowments inherited from our parents? How important are physical
and emotional health to subjective life satisfaction? Do older
people tend to be happier, or younger people? Are close social
relationships necessary for happiness? Do political conditions,
such as respect for human rights, democracy and autonomy, play a
part? How can governments contribute to the population's happiness?
This book answers these questions on the basis of extensive
interdisciplinary research reflecting the current state of
knowledge. The book will appeal to anyone interested in learning
more about the various dimensions of personal well-being beyond the
happiness-prosperity connection, as well as to policymakers looking
for guidance on how to improve happiness in societies.
