Descripción de contraportada
Almost everyone seeks to achieve happiness in their lives, yet the thought of a pharmacological enhancement to our ability to be happy makes most people recoil in horror. Why is this? Happy-People-Pills for All explores the latest theories and debates on what it means to be "happy" while addressing the prospects for advanced pharmacological agents to enhance our capacity for happiness and wellbeing. As distinguished from "happy pills" (drugs that distort cognition), future "happy-people-pills" will mimic the positive emotional states of the hyperthymic temperament. Noting that contemporary social science research supports the view that happiness promotes achievement in the 'higher' endeavors of humanity--including work, love and virtue--this provocative text reveals how happy-people-pills could greatly benefit individuals in achieving these same goals. Moral and legal issues are also addressed, including the quandary of the government's role in individual welfare--whether to be involved in the development and promotion of bio-happiness or to allow such pharmacological agents to be developed in the private sector. Original and thought-provoking, Happy-People-Pills for All offers illuminating insights into the possibility of a panacea for the enhancement of happiness in our everyday lives.
