Happiness and Place (eBook, PDF)

Why Life Is Better Outside of the City

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book is about places - cities, suburbs and towns - and happiness of people living there. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Okulicz-Kozaryn examines the relations between human happiness and the infrastructure of the places they live. This thought-provoking book argues for the overlooked idea that we are happiest in smaller areas.
