We all want to be happy, but what does that mean? Happy Lives, Good
Lives: A Philosophical Examination offers a thorough introduction
to a variety of perspectives on happiness. Valuable insights are
inferred from both philosophical and scientific research into the
nature of happiness, and a range of examples of very different but
equally happy lives are considered. Among the questions at issue:
Is happiness only a state of mind, or is it something more? Is it
the same for everyone? Is it under our control, and if so, to what
extent? Can we be mistaken about whether we are happy? What role,
if any, does happiness play in living a good life? Is it sometimes
morally wrong to pursue happiness? Should governments promote
happiness through public policy? The asking and answering of these
questions is valuable not only as an intellectual exercise, but
also as a means of gaining practical insight into how best to
pursue a happy life.
