The happiness theory of well-being
Abstract
So far, we have examined four theories of well-being: hedonism, desire-fulfilment theory, objective list theory, and perfectionism. In this chapter we will look at another theory of well-being: the happiness theory of well-being (HTWB). My means of assessing this theory of well-being will involve assessing the theory when it is combined with various theories of the nature of happiness (i.e. theories of what happiness is ). So, in this chapter we will spend time examining theories of the nature of happiness.
