About this audiobook
Build a better society through happiness policy
Thomas Jefferson said that “the purpose of government is to enable the people of a nation to live in safety and happiness.” Yet only now, 270 years later, is the happiness of citizens starting to be taken seriously as the purpose of government.
While happiness science is advancing rapidly, and governments and organizations are creating indices for measuring happiness, there is little practical information on how to create policy to advance happiness.
Drawing from a deep well of expertise and experience, The Happiness Policy Handbook is the first step-by-step guide for integrating happiness into government policy at all levels. Coverage includes:
- A concise background on happiness science, indices and indicators, and happiness in public policy
- Tools for formulating happiness policy and integrating happiness into administrative functions
- A concept menu of happiness policies
- Communicating happiness policy objectives to media and engaging with the community
- A happiness policy screening tool for evaluating the happiness contribution of any policy
- Policy perspectives from seasoned experts across sectors.
The Happiness Policy Handbook is the essential resource for policymakers and professionals working to integrate happiness and well-being into governmental processes and institutions.
