Description

This book provides a critical account of existing forms of psychological governance in relation to public policy. With contributions from leading scholars across the social sciences, chapters identify practical and political challenges posed by the current policy enthusiasm for particular branches of affective neuroscience, behavioural economics, positive psychology and happiness economics. The core focus is to investigate the ways in which 'psychological resilience' has become an ideal archetype for individual, community and national wellbeing.
