Description

Critical Happiness Studies by Routledge offers a deep exploration of what it means to be happy in the modern world. Moving beyond simple, individualistic views of well-being, this volume brings together a diverse group of researchers and thinkers to examine the subject through many different theoretical and empirical lenses. Rather than relying solely on positivist approaches, the authors look at the broader context of happiness. The book investigates the collective and individual anxieties that drive our current focus on feeling good. It also examines how the concept of happiness might be used to serve specific ideological or governmental goals. This text is an essential resource for students and scholars in anthropology and sociology. It provides a necessary critique of how happiness is framed and studied today, offering new ways to understand the social and political forces that shape our pursuit of well-being.
