The Social Psychology of Living Well – eBook PDF
How to live well and the search for meaning have long been of intense concern to humans, maybe because Homo sapiens is the only species aware of its own mortality. In the past few decades, empirical psychology made a major contribution to this quest. The Social Psychology of Living Well, (PDF) surveys groundbreaking work by leading international researchers, demonstrating that social psychology is the core discipline for understanding well-being and the search for meaning. Basic conceptual and theoretical principles are discussed, drawing on philosophy, evolutionary theory and psychology, followed by an evaluation of the role of purposeful, motivated activity and self-control in achieving life satisfaction. The role of emotional and cognitive processes and the influence of social, interpersonal and cultural factors in promoting a happy and meaningful life are discussed. The ebook will be of interest to students, researchers and practitioners in the behavioral and social sciences, as well as to laypersons for whom enhancing the quality of human life and understanding the principles of well-being are of interest.
