The British Psychological Society - Community Psychology Section:
A Community Psychology Section response to `The Origins of Happines?
21 January 2018
In his new book 'The Origins of Happiness', Richard Layard argues that the biggest predictor of happiness is not any economic factor, but rather mental health. Based on this, Layard proposes a number of policy recommendations aimed at improving the population's well-being with a focus on individual change. The Community Psychology Section has written this response to Layard's book.
