The Happiness Economy

Thinking is hard. It is extremely difficult to think independently and in a new way abut ordi-nary things. The greatest minds, such as Nicolaus Copernicus or Charles Darwin, rejected the opinion of the majority and reconstructed the understanding of the world. The book “Happiness Economy” offers you to think, to look at some common things in a new way.
The essential idea of the book, like everything written about the economics of happiness, is that a person is not a part of the economics mechanism, his life is not controlled by so-me “invisible hand of the market” or forces beyond his control. Man and society can choo-se their future. Over the past century, some groups in the population have become signifi-antly wealthier, and many people have become better educated and healthier. Unfortuna-tely, not all of them became happier. Therefore, it is time to decide whether to follow Aris-totle’s insight several millennia ago – the highest goal of all people is happiness, or to imp-lement the first article of the Constitution adopted during the French Revolution: “The goal of society is common happiness”, or to create a 21st century happiness economy and a happier society. For that, you have to give up your life.
