Description

While most people focus on personal happiness, this book by Springer explores the vital concept of public happiness. It examines how governments and public policies can impact the well-being of entire communities. As the world moves past the COVID-19 pandemic, many are realizing that old governance models and a strict focus on GDP growth may no longer be enough to address modern challenges. Increasing inequality and a growing distrust of traditional institutions have created a need for new approaches to leadership and social policy. This text proposes a new path by building a theory of public happiness as a concept distinct from individual satisfaction. It offers a fresh perspective on how society can function more effectively by prioritizing community quality-of-life. For students, policymakers, and researchers interested in law, administration, and social well-being, this book provides a necessary framework for understanding the future of public governance.
