Description

Explore how the definition of happiness has evolved through this academic study. This book examines public perceptions and how they have shifted over several decades, providing a deep look into a town in North West England from 1938 to 2016. As happiness becomes a central part of government policy and academic debate, this text offers necessary context for understanding its changing nature. Sandie McHugh and her associates build upon the original 1938 Worktown Mass Observation study by social anthropologist Tom Harrison. By repeating the original study in a modern context, the authors provide a comparative look at how societal views on well-being have transformed. This work is a valuable resource for those interested in sociology, anthropology, and the history of social thought.
