What is happiness? How is it related to morality and virtue? Does living with        illusion promote or diminish happiness? Is it better to pursue happiness with a        partner than alone? Philosopher Mike W. Martin addresses these and other questions        as he connects the meaning of happiness with the philosophical notion of "e;the good        life."e; Defining happiness as loving one's life and valuing it in ways manifested by        ample enjoyment and a deep sense of meaning, Martin explores the ways in which        happiness interacts with all other dimensions of good lives--in particular with        moral decency and goodness, authenticity, mental health, self-fulfillment, and        meaningfulness. He interweaves a variety of examples from memoirs, novels, and films        along the way, connecting his discussion of the philosophical issues to related        topics that interest all of us: virtue, love, philanthropy, suffering, simplicity,        balancing work and leisure, and much more. Drawing on wide-ranging and robust        evidence, Martin also makes the case that we need a "e;politics of happiness"e; whereby        government would apply the results of recent "e;happiness studies"e; in psychology to        public policy.
