Gross National Happiness: Why Happiness Matters for America—...
Where: The Heritage Foundation
Date: 2008-05-19 12:00:00

Host: The Heritage Foundation. Who are the happiest Americans? Surveys show that religious people think they are happier than secularists, and secularists think they are happier than religious people. Liberals believe they are happier than conservatives, and conservatives disagree. In fact, almost every group thinks it is happier than everyone else. In his new book, Gross National Happiness, Arthur C. Brooks examines the myths about happiness in America. As he did previously in Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism, he examines vast amounts of evidence and empirical research to uncover the truth about who is happy in America, who is not, and—most importantly—why. He finds that there is a real “happiness gap” in America today, and it lies disconcertingly close to America’s cultural and political fault lines. According to Brooks’ analysis, the great divide between the happy and the unhappy in America is largely due to differences in social and cultural values. The values that bring happiness are faith, charity, hard work, optimism, and individual liberty. Secularism, excessive reliance on the state to solve problems, and an addiction to security all promote unhappiness. What can be done to maximize America’s happiness? Gross National Happiness offers surprising and illuminating conclusions about how our government can best facilitate Americans in their pursuit of happiness.
