Graham, Carol

The Pursuit of Happiness: An Economy of Well-Being - Washington, DC, Brookings Institution Press, 2011 - 164 pages - D6 99 - A Brookings Focus Book .

In The Pursuit of Happiness, renowned economist Carol Graham explores what we know about the determinants of happiness and clearly presents both the promise and the potential pitfalls of injecting the “economics of happiness” into public policymaking. While the book spotlights the innovative contributions of happiness research to the dismal science, it also raises a cautionary note about the issues that still need to be addressed before policymakers can make best use of them.
