The World Book of Happiness The Knowledge and Wisd

About this product

Product Information

The knowledge and wisdom of 100 happiness professors from around the world. It may be surprising to learn the amount of scientific research conducted on happiness and that there is a World Database of Happiness, a cumulative and continuous register of that research. Factors currently include real GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom to make life choices, generosity, perceptions of corruption and dystopia. In fact, the United Kingdom ranks lower than the USA in happiness and not as high as the Nordic countries, including the happiest of nations, Denmark. So perhaps there is a lot to be learned about happiness and how to achieve it. The World Book of Happiness is a fascinating compilation of brief essays by 100 of the most prominent experts in positive psychology working in 50 countries. Writing from their own areas of expertise in language free of academic jargon, the contributors examine the principles of happiness, also known as subjective well-being, and how to achieve it. These expert recommendations are shown as 'keys' to happiness. The book reveals many paths to happiness. From the founder of positive psychology, it is 'other people matter'.From Germany it is 'pride, modesty and gratitude'. In Malaysia it is 'nourish the soul', and in Austria 'fitness, friends and fun' bring happiness. And in Denmark, home to the happiest: 'Believe in yourself'. But what, too, of genetics, geography and health? The experts also consider these factors and recommend keys to happiness that address what we think we cannot control. Positive psychology may not be widely known, but the desire to be happy is universal. By transforming information into knowledge and knowledge into wisdom, The World Book of Happiness brings readers a hopeful and practical guide to that elusive state of being.
