Creating the World We Want to Live In

πŸ‘ Worth It

Seven international positive psychology researchers pool their expertise to ask what flourishing looks like at the scale of communities, economies, and the planet β€” a much-needed expansion beyond the usual self-optimization framing. The writing is accessible enough to reach past academics, and the hopeful-but-grounded tone lands well. Some chapters stay introductory where readers may want more depth.
