The pursuit of happiness in America = a sociological perspective /
Jones, Brian J.

The pursuit of happiness in Americaa sociological perspective /[electronic resource] :by Brian J. Jones. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2024. - xv, 94 p. :ill. (some col.), digital ;24 cm.

Everybody wants to know what makes people happy. Artistic takes on the topic in literature, popular songs and cinema are widespread, but not terribly helpful. Psychological accounts are mostly about how to avoid unhappiness. So who actually is happy, and why? This book offers real answers from the real world of American society. Their source is the General Social Survey, a scientific poll of Americans offering some five decades of state-of-the-art data. An additional enhancement is a set of qualitative interviews commissioned by the author adding depth to the extraordinary breadth of the GSS. The approach of the book is distinctly sociological. Are married Americans happier than unmarried Americans? Does social class matter? How about college? The answers lie within this wide and deep dive into happiness in America.
