Today I picked up a copy of Lord Layard's book Happiness: Lessons from a New Science. I'll write the review when I'm finished.
Layard thinks governments shouldn't only pursue economic growth but the happiness of its own people.
Do you think there are rules which can increase happiness? Isn't happiness something which is somewhat spontaneous? Is happiness happiness at all if it's straight-forward and even politically motivated? What if the policies succed, don't we always need more and different things to get happy? Or does the secret lie when to know that it's enough? Is happiness something that can be pursued anyway? Is it a state or a result of something?
Well we'll soon know more about that.
