How to live well and the search for meaning have long been of intense concern to humans,
perhaps because Homo sapiens is the only species aware of its own mortality. In the
last few decades, empirical psychology made a major contribution to this quest. This
book 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 a review 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 book
will be of interest to students, practitioners and researchers in the behavioral and
social sciences, as well as to laypersons for whom improving quality of human life
and understanding the principles of well-being are of interest
