This book shines a light on the meaning of happiness and how public
perceptions of it have changed over time. A question that has
engaged philosophers from the days of Aristotle, happiness is a
subject of growing academic interest, and its recent integration
into government policy is provoking increased debate into its
definition and nature. Sandie McHugh and her associates build on
the work of social anthropologist Tom Harrison's 'Worktown' Mass
Observation study from 1938, repeating the original study today.
Together these accounts show how perceptions of happiness have
changed over the years for the people of Bolton, UK, and reveal
major difference between its definition then and now. This unique
study is a useful tool in the understanding and study of happiness,
offering invaluable insights for scholars and practitioners working
in the fields of social psychology, positive psychology, health
psychology and wellbeing. With chapters by Martin Guha and Jerome
Carson; John Haworth; Robert Snape; and Matthew Watson and Linda
Withey.
