Good Life

Unifying the Philosophy and Psychology of Well-Being

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Science and philosophy study well-being with different but complementary methods. Marry these methods and a new picture emerges: To have well-being is to be "stuck" in a positive cycle of emotions, attitudes, traits and success. This book unites the scientific and philosophical worldviews into a powerful new theory of well-being.
