OBJECTIVES

Since more than hundred years ago, happiness and the quest of it aroused discourses among philosophers, theologists, politicians, while millions of books and lectures were distributed globally – but why do some of us still feel unhappy?  The project aims to investigate the contemporary definition of happiness, the pursuit of such in different parts of the world, and to discover the social phenomenon affecting happiness of individuals and its relation to humanity.
