In recent decades there has been a shift in focus from
psychological and social problems-what might be called the "dark
side" of humanity-to human well-being and flourishing. The Positive
Psychology movement, along with changes in attitudes toward
organisational and societal health, has generated a surge of
interest in human happiness. The Oxford Handbook of Happiness is
the definitive text for researchers and practitioners interested in
human happiness. Its editors and chapter contributors are world
leaders in the investigation of happiness across the fields of
psychology, organizational behaviour, education, philosophy, social
policy and economics. The study of happiness is at the nexus of
four major scientific developments: the growing field of Positive
Psychology which researches the conditions that make people
flourish; advances in the biological and affective sciences which
have contributed to the understanding of positive emotions;
Positive Organizational Scholarship, an emerging discipline aimed
at investigating and fostering excellence in organisations; and
findings from economics indicating that traditional markers of
economic and societal well-being are insufficient. The Oxford
Handbook of Happiness offers readers a coherent,
multi-disciplinary, and accessible text on the current
state-of-the-art in happiness research. This volume features ten
sections that focus on psychological, philosophical, evolutionary,
economic and spiritual approaches to happiness; happiness in
society, education, organisations and relationships; and the
assessment and development of happiness. Readers will find
information on psychological constructs such as resilience, flow,
and emotional intelligence; theories including broaden-and-build
and self-determination; and explorations of topics including
collective virtuousness, psychological capital, coaching,
environmental sustainability and economic growth. This handbook
will be useful to academics, practitioners, teachers, students, and
all those interested in theory and research on human happiness.
