This open access book defines happiness intuitively and explores
several common conceptual mistakes with regard to happiness. It
then moves on to address topical issues including, but not limited
to, whether money can buy you happiness, why happiness is
ultimately the only thing of intrinsic value, and the various
factors important for happiness. It also presents a more reliable
and interpersonally comparable method for measuring happiness and
discusses twelve factors, from A to L, that are crucial for
individual happiness: attitude, balance, confidence, dignity,
engagement, family/friends, gratitude, health, ideals, joyfulness,
kindness and love. Further, it examines important public policy
considerations, taking into account recent advances in economics,
the environmental sciences, and happiness studies. Novel issues
discussed include: an environmentally responsible happy nation
index to supplement GDP, the East Asian happiness gap, a case for
stimulating pleasure centres of the brain, and an argument for
higher public spending.
