Happiness and Wellness - Biopsychosocial and Anthropological Perspectives March 15, 2023 Patrick Jones 2 citations

Happiness has been studied through life areas and subjective well-being, but these approaches yield only partial and unstable happiness. This chapter examines whether lasting, full happiness is possible by turning to traditional mindfulness and ancient wisdom traditions. These traditions argue that the constructed sense of self causes fluctuations in happiness. The chapter explores a model of robust happiness that could be a stable attribute of a fully functional human being.
