In this book Richard Easterlin, the \u0026amp;quote;father of happiness economics,\u0026amp;quote; draws on a half-century of his own research and that conducted by fellow economists and psychologists to answer in plain language questions like: Can happiness be measured? Will more money make me happier? What about finding a partner? Getting married? Having a baby? More exercise? Does religion help? Who is happier-women or men, young or old, rich or poor? How does happiness change as we go through different stages of life? Public policy is also in the mix: Can the government increase people's happiness? Should the government increase their happiness? Which countries are the happiest and why? Does a country need to be rich to be happy? Does economic growth improve the human lot? Some of the answers are surprising (no, more money won't do the trick; neither will economic growth; babies are a mixed blessing!), but they are all based on reason and well-vetted evidence from the fields of economics and psychology. In closing, Easterlin traces the genesis of the ongoing \u0026amp;quote;Happiness Revolution\u0026amp;quote; and considers its implications for people's lives down the road.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52894381900055,"sku":null,"price":2428.24,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9783030619626.jpg?v=1781257476","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/ur\/products\/economics-and-finance-9783030619626","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
