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.
