- Summary:
- This book explores the concept of happiness and well-being, challenging traditional Western paradigms by presenting an alternative model rooted in East Asian cultural practices. Authors Yukiko Uchida and Jeremy Rappleye examine how happiness is influenced by societal and cultural contexts, emphasizing the importance of social support and attunement to others over independence and self-esteem. The book integrates research from cultural psychology, education, and global governance to provide a comprehensive analysis of happiness, its measurement, and its implications for policy-making. It aims to offer new insights and potential solutions to contemporary challenges, appealing to scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of happiness.
