This edited volume focuses on different views of happiness and
well-being, considering constructs like meaning and spirituality in
addition to the more standard constructs of positive emotion and
life satisfaction. A premise of the volume is that being happy
consists of more than having the right things happen to us; it also
depends on how we interpret those events as well as what we are
trying to achieve. Such considerations suggest that
cognitive-emotional factors should play a fairly pronounced role in
how happy we are. The present volume pursues these themes in the
context of 25 chapters organized into 5 sections. The first section
centers on cognitive variables such as attention and executive
function, in addition to mindfulness. The second section considers
important sources of positive cognition such as savoring and
optimism and the third section focuses on self-regulatory
contributions to well-being. Finally, social processes are covered
in a fourth section and meaning-related processes are covered in
the fifth. What results is a rich and diverse volume centering on
the ways in which our minds can help or hinder our aspirations for
happiness.
