We all strive for personal happiness in one way or another, but
what about public happiness? What does public happiness mean and
what role can governments and public policies play? The current
COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the inadequacies of old
governance paradigms and even before this pandemic, increasing
inequalities and frustration with the old GDP-centric growth
paradigm have fueled dissatisfaction with and distrust of
governments. This book suggests a new path towards public happiness
as a potential solution. The book builds a theory of public
happiness as a distinct concept from individual happiness,
borrowing especially from Eastern philosophy. It provides an
overview of the efforts so far to go "beyond GDP" - including
measurement and exploration of the determinants of happiness - and
how these efforts have fallen short of expectation. Lastly, the
book sketches out what a public happiness policy might look like
and identifies the factors of a successful happiness policy.
