Lok Sang Ho

The Psychology and Economics of Happiness (eBook, PDF)

Love, life and positive living

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In this volume, Lok Sang Ho suggests that the lack of progress in happiness among developed countries despite significant economic growth is due to a deficit of "mental goods", rather than a lack of material goods. Drawing on empirical research, the book explores how to invest, work, and consume from a whole life perspective, arguing that every action - consumption, investment, or work - should enhance the total quality of life.
