In this new edition of his landmark book, Richard Layard shows that
there is a paradox at the heart of our lives. Most people want more
income. Yet as societies become richer, they do not become happier.
This is not just anecdotally true, it is the story told by
countless pieces of scientific research. We now have sophisticated
ways of measuring how happy people are, and all the evidence shows
that on average people have grown no happier in the last fifty
years, even as average incomes have more than doubled. In fact, the
First World has more depression, more alcoholism and more crime
than fifty years ago. This paradox is true of Britain, the United
States, continental Europe, and Japan. What is going on? Now fully
revised and updated to include developments since first
publication, Layard answers his critics in what is still the key
book in 'happiness studies'.
