Economists merge subjective and objective dimensions and indicators of well-being, with a special emphasis on methodology in indicators, on the history of ideas, and on the relational and
eudaimonian dimensions of human well-being. Looking in turn at quality of life and happiness, they consider such topics as linking happiness to health: comparisons between hedonic and
eudaimonic well-being, indicators of happiness versus quality of happiness: methodology and theory, quality of life studies and positive psychology, culture and fine arts: open-ended choices
and the formation of interest, and the idea of happiness in Italy. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
