The Promotion Of General Happiness

The Promotion of General Happiness by Michael MacMillan is a thought-provoking book that explores the concept of happiness in modern society. The author argues that happiness is not just a personal emotion, but a collective responsibility that society as a whole should strive to achieve. MacMillan delves into the history of happiness, tracing its roots from ancient philosophy to modern-day psychology. He discusses the different factors that contribute to happiness, such as social connections, purpose and meaning, and personal growth. The book also examines the role of government in promoting happiness, with MacMillan arguing that policies should be designed with the goal of increasing overall well-being rather than just economic growth. He offers examples of countries that have successfully implemented such policies, such as Bhutan's Gross National Happiness index. Throughout the book, MacMillan challenges readers to rethink their understanding of happiness and to consider how they can contribute to the promotion of general happiness in their own lives and communities. Overall, The Promotion of General Happiness is a compelling read that offers a fresh perspective on the pursuit of happiness in modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
