Kritik
"First, it will stimulate some critical thinking in anyone who is embarking on an undergraduate or Master's level course in positive psychology (or thinking of doing so). Second, it gives a good overview of the study of well-being for students of other social sciences. Third, it would be useful reading for public policymakers who wish to counterbalance some of the rather simplistic messages that are occasionally used to promote the 'happiness agenda.'" (Nicholas J. L. Brown, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62 (38), September, 2017)mehr
