Contemporary Japan is in a state of transition, caused by the
forces of globalization that are derailing its ailing economy,
stalemating the political establishment and generating alternative
lifestyles and possibilities of the self. Amongst this nascent
change, Japanese society is confronted with new challenges to
answer the fundamental question of how to live a good life of
meaning, purpose and value. This book, based on extensive fieldwork
and original research, considers how specific groups of Japanese
people view and strive for the pursuit of happiness. It examines
the importance of relationships, family, identity, community and
self-fulfilment, amongst other factors. The book demonstrates how
the act of balancing social norms and agency is at the root of the
growing diversity of experiencing happiness in Japan today.
