Considers our definitions of happiness, and its subjective values
Provides an overview of contemporary and historical thinking about happiness
Looks at both the philosophical and psychological aspects of happiness
Considers not just what happiness is, and what brings it, but how happiness fits into an ethical life
Part of the bestselling Very Short Introductions series
Happiness is an everyday term in our lives, and most of us strive to be happy. But defining happiness can be difficult.
In this Very Short Introduction, Dan Haybron considers the true nature of happiness. By examining what it is, assessing its subjective values, its importance in our lives, and how we can (and should) pursue it, he considers the current thinking on happiness, from psychology to philosophy.
Illustrating the diverse routes to happiness, Haybron reflects on the growing influence of secular Western ideas in the contemporary pursuit of a good life, and considers the influence of social context on our satisfaction and well-being.
Readership: General readers, researchers, and policy makers concerned with well-being, as well as students of philosophy and ethics.

Psychologists Ed Diener and Robert Biswas-Diener sum it up nicely:' the close relationships that produce the most happiness are those characterized by mutual understanding, caring, and validation of the other person as worthwhile'. Inside nad outside of close relationships, being treated with respect is important, as is having the esteem of those whose judgement matters to us. (查看原文)
Flow is the state you assume when fully engaged in an activity, typically a challenging activity performed well. Athletes and musicians describe it as being 'in the zone'. In states of flow, you lose all sense of self-awareness, of the passage of time, and are not aware of feeling anything at all. (查看原文)

掺杂了挺多主观的看法和不负责的猜测。看了那么多考量和想法，有一点是明确的：将幸福定义化简会产生“被幸福”等武断而又绝对的标准。一家之言被奉为放之四海的公理，某种意义上这也算压迫。最好的办法就是不要研究这个话题，因为没有啥建设性意义。
