What is human happiness and how can we promote it? These questions
are central to human existence and Happiness Explained draws on
scientific research from economics, psychology, and philosophy, as
well as a range of other disciplines, to outline a new paradigm in
which human flourishing plays a central role in the assessment of
national and global progress. It shows why the traditional national
income approach is limited as a measure of human wellbeing and
demonstrates how the contributors to happiness, wellbeing, and
quality of life can be measured and understood across the human
life course. Discussing wide-ranging aspects, from parenting,
decent employment, friendship, education, and health in old age,
through to money, autonomy, and fairness, as well as personal
strategies and governmental polices used in the pursuit of
happiness, it offers a science-based understanding of human
flourishing. Written by an economist involved in helping
governmental organisations move 'beyond GDP', Happiness Explained
shows how a wide range of factors that contribute to better and
happier lives and how, together, they provide a new blueprint for
the assessment of progress in terms of personal wellbeing.
