摘要

Everyone wants to be happy. Jeremy Bentham even argued that this should be the very goal of government. Research on happiness may tell us what makes us happy, but is it possible for governments to govern in such a way as to maximise happiness? This is the task that Derek Bok sets himself. Drawing upon happiness research, which can include life satisfaction, well-being, quality of life etc., the author seeks lessons for government in an accessible and concise way.rnAfter summarizing happiness research, he draws important conclusions. First, increasing income through general growth and prosperity does not necessarily lead to increasing happiness in the longer term. Although richer people are happier than poorer people, the percentage of Americans who declare themselves to be happy has not changed since 50 years ago during a period when national incomes have increased substantially, the so-called "Easterlin paradox".
