Cultures of Wellbeing

The authors challenge psychological perspectives on happiness and subjective wellbeing. Highlighting the politics of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, case studies across continents explore wellbeing in relation to health, children and youth, migration, economics, religion, family, land mines, national surveys, and indigenous identities.

This book seeks to show that different methodologies not only shed light upon the different aspects of wellbeing but also play an active role in generating a variety of data and analyses which allow the construction of different explanations. it further emphasizes the importance of the emerging concept of relational well-being, which is a major find that renders this textbook important and necessary to researchers focused in this field of study.
