Rezensionen
"A much needed book. ... the volume is comprehensive, an impressive breadth of coverage. ... Brulé and Suter (2019) will be an important reference for happiness scholars, and there are many ways to build upon and extend this useful book. One may often steer away from edited volumes as not as scientific as journals, but this collection is important with multiple solid pieces." (Adam Okulicz-Kozaryn, Journal of Happiness Studies, Vol. 23 (2), 2022)
