Reviews
"Using the work of Plato, Aristotle, and contemporary psychologists as guides, as well as the writings of Mary Shelley, Goethe, and even Mike Leigh's film Happy Go-Lucky as examples, Martin rigorously investigates the complex web of interactions between happiness, morality, and virtue." --Publishers Weekly "[A] thoughtful, informative book."--CHOICE, This thoughtful, informative book suggests that happiness is one element in a good life, and that it is interwoven with the strands of every other element that constitutes a good life. Martin (Chapman Univ.) does a good job of parsing out the various aspects of happiness that other authors (especially Seligman, Haybron, and Kekes) have discussed., "Using the work of Plato, Aristotle, and contemporary psychologists as guides, as well as the writings of Mary Shelley, Goethe, and even Mike Leigh's film Happy Go-Lucky as examples, Martin rigorously investigates the complex web of interactions between happiness, morality, and virtue." --Publishers Weekly, "Using the work of Plato, Aristotle, and contemporary psychologists as guides, as well as the writings of Mary Shelley, Goethe, and even Mike Leigh's film Happy Go-Lucky as examples, Martin rigorously investigates the complex web of interactions between happiness, morality, and virtue." --Publishers Weekly"[A] thoughtful, informative book."--CHOICE

Synopsis
What is happiness? How is it related to morality and virtue? Does living with illusion promote or diminish happiness? Is it better to pursue happiness with a partner than alone? Philosopher Mike W. Martin addresses these and other questions as he connects the meaning of happiness with the philosophical notion of "the good life." Defining happiness as loving one's life and valuing it in ways manifested by ample enjoyment and a deep sense of meaning, Martin explores the ways in which happiness interacts with all other dimensions of good lives-in particular with moral decency and goodness, authenticity, mental health, self-fulfillment, and meaningfulness. He interweaves a variety of examples from memoirs, novels, and films along the way, connecting his discussion of the philosophical issues to related topics that interest all of us: virtue, love, philanthropy, suffering, simplicity, balancing work and leisure, and much more. Drawing on wide-ranging and robust evidence, Martin also makes the case that we need a "politics of happiness" whereby government would apply the results of recent "happiness studies" in psychology to public policy., What is happiness?
