描述
Richard Layard explores the intricate relationship between happiness, ethics, and economic growth. He delves into the insights from psychology and economics to argue that mere financial prosperity does not equate to personal satisfaction or societal well-being. Through various studies and evidence, Layard illustrates that happiness stems more from strong relationships, emotional support, and a sense of purpose than from wealth alone.
In a thought-provoking narrative, he challenges conventional wisdom and encourages readers to contemplate what truly makes life fulfilling. By examining the ethical implications of our pursuits and the societal structures surrounding happiness, Layard invites a deeper understanding of how individuals and communities can cultivate genuine joy and contentment in their lives.
