Book Description
The question "What is happiness?" is one that most of us ponder at least once in our lives. This is the first book that approaches the study of happiness by listening to the experts, both historical and contemporary, and this book approaches the topic of happiness by compiling more than 100 years of research by scholars, researchers, and philosophers. In doing so, this work at hand gives happiness and its critics a fair hearing by attending to all of the arguments.

Distinguished authors Nathan Carlin and Donald Capps examine opinions, research studies, and insights about happiness from the 18th century through today.100 Years of Happiness: Insights and Findings from the Experts is organized into three sectionsone that explores insights from philosophers, another part that reviews study results from researchers, and a final section that casts some skepticism on the study of happiness.
