Happiness: Lessons from a New Science
ISBN: 9780143037019 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) There is a paradox at the heart of our lives. We all want more money, but as societies become richer, they do not become happier. This is not speculation: It's the story told by countless pieces of scientific research. We now have sophisticated ways of measuring how happy people are, and all the evidence shows that on average people have grown no happier in the last fifty years, even as average incomes have more than doubled.
The central question the great economist Richard Layard asks in Happiness is this: If we really wanted to be happier, what would we do differently? First we'd...

In Thrive, Richard Layard and David Clark argue for fresh policy approaches to how we think about... Mental illness is a leading cause of suffering in the modern world.

ISBN: 9780199609789 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Why is unemployment higher in some countries than others? Why does it fluctuate between decades? Why are some people at greater risk than others?
