A great and insightful read. Combined economics, political science, and happiness research in pursuit of advocating for better policies from the government that improve the citizens‘ well-being. Mostly tackled problems in the US. Includes a plethora of statistics and research studies. Highly recommend! (Will look for more books by Derek Bok)

Next on my reading list: “The Politics of Happiness” by Bok. Back in college, I had to read some parts of the book and I remember liking the content. This should be a fun transition from mystery (and I don‘t mean it sarcastically).
