In the past decade, governments and corporations have become increasingly interested in measuring the way people feel. As a result, our emotions have become a new resource to be bought and sold...In a fascinating investigation combining history, science and ideas, William Davies shows how well-being influences all aspects of our lives. This book will make you rethink everything from the way you work, the power of the 'Nudge', the ever-expanding definitions of depression, and the commercialization of your most private feelings. The Happiness Industry is a shocking and brilliantly argued warning about the new religion of the age: our emotions.
