What defines "happiness," and how can we attain it? The ways in which people in China ask and answer this universal question tell a lot about the tensions and challenges they face during periods of remarkable political and economic change.
Exploring how various versions of happiness derive from individual endeavors of living up to certain core virtues, this book offers a highly original and excellent account of what constitutes a good life and a good society in contemporary China. A must-read!--Yunxiang Yan, author of The Individualization of Chinese Society "This is a highly original work that sheds light on what 'a good life' means in contemporary China. In an era when many lament society's spiritual vacuum and loss of shared values, this book shows that there are still common threads tying together how Chinese people imagine and pursue happiness."--Anthony J. Spires, University of Melbourne
