Economics of Happiness

The book Economics of Happiness by Dr. Supriya Jha explores the intersection of economic principles and human well-being. It challenges the conventional view that financial prosperity is the sole determinant of success and instead argues that happiness should be a key economic goal. Drawing on insights from economics, psychology, sociology, and neuroscience, the book examines factors such as income, social connections, health, work-life balance, and societal values that shape happiness. It also discusses policy measures that governments can adopt to prioritize well-being alongside economic growth, ultimately questioning and redefining what it means to live a prosperous life.
