COMMENT ON GOODBYE JUSTICE, HELLO HAPPINESS: WELCOMING POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY TO THE LAW

Abstract

Kudos to Professor Mirko Bagaric and James McConvill for their well-informed review of the new happiness research, and for their provocative ideas on how such research might define new criteria for making laws that optimally advance human flourishing. As one who has followed and reported on this new research, I concur that it has the potential to guide public policies.
