'Now more than ever it is vitally important for us to understand that wellbeing is not a solo job. Neil Thin has written an original, masterful book on the good life as a social endeavor. Lively and full of insight and optimism, it will help set the agenda for research and action on wellbeing.' -- Dan Haybron, Saint Louis University, US 'This book is needed right now. Planners, policy makers and politicians ought to read it. It's a serious new look at wellbeing that goes beyond the usual individualistic notions to appreciate the social dimensions of a good and fulfilling life.' -- Stephen Joseph, University of Nottingham, UK 'The idea of wellbeing, while often controversial, has never been of more interest to academics, citizens and decision-makers alike. Written in a highly engaging and accessible manner, this book provides a thoughtful and provocative examination of efforts to document, interpret and appreciate the social dimensions of wellbeing and to promote reforms that pay more explicit attention to our ultimate personal and collective aspirations. It deserves to be read by all who seek to deepen their understanding of wellbeing and its contemporary relevance.' -- Ian Bache, The University of Sheffield, UK
