The Origins of Happiness: The science of wellbeing over the life course
19 March 2018
Book of the month: We all know the adage that money doesn’t bring you happiness – but if not money, then what? That’s the question being asked in The Origins of Happiness: The Science of Well-Being Over the Life Course. Written by social scientists from the Well-being Programme at the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics, the book takes an empirical tack, drawing conclusions from hard statistics rather than psychological research. Importantly – and somewhat unusually in studies of happiness, which can tend to be rather culturally specific - the book’s authors have interviewed 100,000 people globally to find out what makes them happy.
