| Summary: | The first comprehensive philosophical treatment of happiness, Daniel Haybron challenges traditional views about the pursuit of happiness. Engaging heavily with the science of happiness, he argues for a rich psychology of well-being on which we are remarkably prone to err in matters of personal welfare. The Pursuit of Unhappiness invites us to rethink traditional assumptions about the good life and the good society, and will be an indispensable resourcefor philosophers, social scientists, and other students of well-being. |
