Oxford Handbook of Happiness

This handbook will be useful to academics, practitioners, teachers, students, and all those interested in theory and research on human happiness. R. B. Stewart Jr., CHOICE ...instead of relying upon others' opinions and advice on what makes them happy, or trying to figure out for yourself how to find happiness, I believe that a better method is to look at the facts and research outcomes presented in this book.[It] contains up-to-date information from "happiness research;" provides descriptions of the various components of happiness including importantly, eudaimonia; uses a multi-disciplinary approach to what constitutes happiness; gives you the theoretical basis of happiness, as well as how it is measured and developed; and offers suggestions on how you can apply the findings from research to your own personal situation. Finally, we have a science of happiness revealed in this book for your benefit! Bizindia, May 2013 With 10 sections and 79 chapters, the handbook has something for anyone that is interested in the study and application of happiness. It also provides an opportunity to revisit existing areas of interest, or a jumping off point to explore new areas, all with the intent to expand readers' "learning edge." Doody's Notes, May 2013
