Wellbeing: science and policy

Jan-Emmanuel De Neve and Richard Layard

CentrePiece - The magazine for economic performance from Centre for Economic Performance, LSE

Abstract: What produces a happy society and a happy life? In the first textbook on wellbeing, Richard Layard and Jan-Emmanuel De Neve explain how wellbeing can be measured, what causes it and how it can be improved. They conclude that we are only at the beginning of a transformation in the ability to base decision-making on the outcomes that matter most - namely the wellbeing of us all, including future generations.
