For centuries, happiness was a theoretical concept. But in the last three decades, happiness and subjective well-being (SWB) research has transformed the field into an empirical interdisciplinary science. There is now fast-growing demand for empirical happiness findings — inside as well as outside academia — due to their innovative insights, global applications, and predictive behavioral power.
