The first part of the book reviews empirical work relating to
happiness (including attitudinal studies), claims made in an
educational context and postwar philosophical treatment of the
concept. There is a useful account of Aristotle's pioneering work
and a stimulating summary of some of the main themes to be found in
the literature concerning happiness. In the second part the author
elucidates the concept of happiness, and consider the significance,
reliability and plausibility of the various empirical claims in the
light of a clear understanding of what happiness is. After
discussing whether happiness ought to be valued in general terms
the study concludes by outlining the ways in which it can be
related to education and schooling and by suggesting action which
could be taken in schools in order to promote happiness.
