Book Abstract
The past 40 years have seen thousands of research studies about human happiness. These studies have asked specific questions about how health, family relationships, work, and religion impact individual happiness. The Gallup organization now conducts global surveys of happiness, comparing nations by how happy they are. One country, Bhutan, has actually made Gross National Happiness
the central aim of its domestic policy.
The Politics of Happiness explores how all this new happiness research could influence American governmental policy and improve the quality of life for all citizens.
