LAS PERSONAS FELICES VIVEN ENTRE SEIS Y DIEZ AÑOS MÁS QUE LAS NO FELICES.

Una ola de descontento recorre el mundo, y cada vez menos personas se sienten verdaderamente felices. Las encuestas revelan un aumento cons­tante de la insatisfacción, el estrés y la depresión a nivel global. Qué está sucediendo? Por qué los niveles de infelicidad alcanzan récords preocupantes? Cuáles son las últimas innovaciones de países, empresas, escuelas y la ciencia para revertir esta tendencia y aumentar la felicidad?

Andrés Oppenheimer explora este fenómeno global y ofrece nuevas perspectivas para salir del pozo de la insatisfacción. A través de una ex­haustiva investigación en diversos países, concluye que el crecimiento económico --el parámetro que usamos para medir el progreso-- es ne­cesario, pero no suficiente para aumentar la felicidad. Hay otros factores, como la pérdida de comunidad, la carencia de propósito y la adicción a las redes sociales, que están alimentando la desesperanza. Sin embargo, lo más interesante es que están surgiendo soluciones concretas y accesi­bles para aumentar la satisfacción de vida.

A lo largo de esta reveladora y entretenida obra, los lectores se su­mergirán en la nueva "ciencia de la felicidad", basada en evaluaciones de impacto respaldadas por evidencias sólidas. Así, Oppenheimer amplía el concepto de progreso y comparte novedosas estrategias para combatir la infelicidad en los países, las empresas y las escuelas. Nos cuenta sobre las "escuelas de la felicidad" que visitó en India, los "recetadores sociales" que entrevistó en el Reino Unido y los grupos de voluntarios con los que habló en Dinamarca, Finlandia y Bután. He aquí un libro inspirador que transformará todo lo que siempre creímos sobre la felicidad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

ACCORDING TO STUDIES FROM THE UNITED STATES, HAPPY PEOPLE LIVE SIX TO TEN YEARS MORE THAN UNHAPPY PEOPLE.

A wave of discontent is sweeping across the world, and fewer and fewer people feel truly happy. Surveys show a constant increase in dissatisfaction, stress, and depression worldwide. What is happening? Why is the level of unhappiness reaching worrisome numbers? What are the latest innovations from nations, corporations, schools, and scientists to reverse this tendency and increase happiness?

Andrés Oppenheimer explores this global phenomenon and offers new perspectives to get out of the well of discontent. From rigorous research undertaken in several countries, he concludes that economical growth--the parameter used to measure success--is necessary, but not enough to increase happiness. There are other factors that are fueling hopelessness, such as the loss of a sense of community, the lack of purpose, and the addiction to social media. However, the most interesting aspect of all is that straightforward and accessible solutions to enhance satisfaction in life are emerging.

Through this insightful and entertaining work, readers submerge in the new "science of happiness," based on impact assessments supported by solid evidence. Oppenheimer expands the concept of progress and shares fresh strategies to fight unhappiness within countries, corporations, and schools. He tells us of the "schools of happiness" he visited in India, the "social prescribers" he interviewed in the United Kingdom, and the volunteer groups he talked to in Denmark, Finland, and Bhutan. This is an inspiring book that will change everything we always thought we knew about happiness.
