The happiness riddle and the quest for a good life[electronic resource] /by Mark Cieslik. - London :Palgrave Macmillan UK :2017. - x, 235 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

1. Making Sense of Happiness -- 2. A History of Happiness -- 3. Happiness in Contemporary Societies -- 4. Happiness and the Individual: Positive Psychology and Subjective Wellbeing -- 5. Happiness and Psychoanalysis -- 6. Happiness and the Self-Help Industry -- 7. The Rainbow of Happiness: Sociology and Happiness Research -- 8. Sociological Tools for Understanding Happiness Today -- 9. Growing up with happiness -- 10. Young Adults and happiness? -- 11. A mid life crisis? -- 12. Happiness in later life? -- 13. Lessons from Life: How Sociology Can Help Us To Be Happy Today -- 14. The Politics of Happiness.

This book examines the meaning of happiness in Britain today, and observes that although we face challenges such as austerity, climate change and disenchantment with politics, we continue to be interested in happiness and living well. The author illustrates how happiness is a far more contested, social process than is often portrayed by economists and psychologists, and takes issue with sociologists who often regard wellbeing and the happiness industry with suspicion, whilst neglecting one of the key features of being human - the quest for a good life. Exploring themes that question what it means to be happy and live a good life in Britain today, such as the challenges young people face making their way through education and into their first jobs; work life-balance; mid-life crises; and old age, the book presents nineteen life stories that call for a far more critical and ambitious approach to happiness research that marries the radicalism of sociology, with recent advances in psychology and economics.
