Summary:
The book contains four sample projects for new-style communities. Four stories told through engaging models and drawings suggest the design potential surrounding everyday living. The experience of Rethinking Happiness aims to reset the concept of the urban development model and to start again from scratch, redefining needs, habits and dreams in tune with present day requirements. In other words, it will be looking at an updated model of contemporary life during a workshop open to economists, sociologists, architects, designers, town planners, landscape designers and simple citizens invited to participate in giving an area a new identity. Rethinking Happiness was part of the 12th International Exhibition of Architecture in Venice curated by Kazuyo Sejima.

Summary:
Happiness is an everyday term in our lives, and most of us strive to be happy. But defining happiness can be difficult. In this "Very Short Introduction", Dan Haybron considers the true nature of happiness. By examining what it is, assessing its subjective values, its importance in our lives, and how we can (and should) pursue it, he considers the current thinking on happiness, from psychology to philosophy. Illustrating the diverse routes to happiness, Haybron reflects on the growing influence of secular Western ideas in the contemporary pursuit of a good life, and considers the influence of social context on our satisfaction and well-being.
