Many managers and organizations still assume that employees who
devote long hours to their jobs with no family interference are
"ideal workers". However, this assumption has negative consequences
for employees, their families and, more interestingly, for their
organizations. This book provides a wealth of empirical evidence
from around the globe, as well as innovative conceptual frameworks,
to help practitioners and researchers alike to go beyond the
classic notion of the "ideal worker" and to rethink what companies
actually need from their employees. As it demonstrates, doing so
will be beneficial for countless men and women, and for society at
large.

This open access book presents a novel multidisciplinary
perspective on the importance of human flourishing. The study of
the good life or Eudaimonia has been a central concern at least
since Aristotelian times. This responds to the common experience
that we all seek happiness. Today, we are immersed in a new
paradoxical boom, where the pursuit of happiness seems to permeate
everything (books, media, organizations, talks), but at the same
time, it is nowhere, or at least very difficult to achieve. In
fact, it is not easy to even find a consensus regarding the meaning
of the word happiness. Seligman (2011), one of the fathers of the
positive psychology, confirmed that his original view the meaning
he referred to was close to that of Aristotle. But, he recently
confessed that he now detests the word happiness, since it is
overused and has become almost meaningless. The aim of this open
access book is to shed new light on human flourishing through the
lenses of neurosciences and health, organizations, and arts. The
novelty of this book is to offer a multi-disciplinary perspective
on the importance of human flourishing in our lives. The book will
examine further how different initiatives, policies and practices
create opportunities for generating human flourishing.
