APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING The Policy Press has just published a new book: 'Social happiness: Theory into policy and practice' by Neil Thin which I am sure will be of interest to members of this list. The book is an examination of the achievements and potential of applied happiness scholarship in diverse cultures and domains, arguing that progressive policies require a substantial and explicit consideration of happiness. "The literature on human happiness extends to many fields, and Neil Thin seems to know them all. This is a superb synthesis by an expert who isn't afraid to smile." Darrin M.
