Product Information

Happiness and the law -- the two concepts seem to have little to do with one another. To some people, they may even seem diametrically opposed. Yet, one of the things that laws strive to do is improve the quality of people's lives. John Bronsteen and his coauthors draw on new research on happiness from psychology, economics, and neuroscience to understand the law's effects on people--whether they make them happy or unhappy--and how good the law is at predicting these effects. Happiness research has shown that people can adapt to some things but not to others; that people often err in predicting what will make them happy; and that money affects most people's happiness less than is assumed. Using such insights, the authors consider the effects of legal policies and regulations, criminal punishments, and civil lawsuits on how people experience their lives. The results are exciting and often counterintuitive. The findings of hedonic psychology indicate, for example, a need to rethink our current understandings of imprisonment and monetary fines. Most broadly, the book proposes a comprehensive approach to human welfare to assess the good and bad consequences of laws and policies. This approach, well-being analysis, is far superior to the strictly economically based cost-benefit analyses which currently dominate how we evaluate public policy. The study of happiness is the next step in the evolution from traditional economic analysis of the law to a behavioral approach. Happiness and the Law will serve as the definitive, yet accessible, guide to understanding this new paradigm.

Reviews

Does happiness matter? Obviously. Does happiness matter to law? It certainly should. In this provocative, bold, and highly original book, Bronsteen, Buccafusco, and Masur argue that, in numerous areas, our legal system would do much better if it focused on what social scientists have learned about happiness and well-being. It's a major contribution with implications not only for public policy but also for our daily lives., As the psychological study of happiness gains traction, the authors say judges and policymakers now have the data they need to experiment with new approaches to setting criminal punishments and guiding civil litigation., A brilliantly original treatise by the world's foremost authorities on happiness and the law. Bronsteen, Buccafusco, and Masur use theories and data from psychology and economics to answer deep and difficult questions that have vexed thinkers for millennia. A smart and fascinating book!, [The authors] make the case that their data sets and methodology for measuring human happiness represent a 'better proxy for quality of life than money' and call on policy makers to expand funding for their research and either replace or at least supplement the findings of cost-benefit analyses with their 'well-being analysis.' . . . Recommended., An important book that makes a strong case for the relevance of happiness surveys in guiding policy making and legal doctrine., Happiness and the Law is an important book. Bronsteen, Buccafusco and Masur (BBM) provide a well-written, thought-provoking, rigorous introduction to hedonic psychology and its many potential applications in law and policy. Numerous lessons are already ripe for consumption by policymakers. Other ideas set the stage for a fruitful research agenda that will influence policy in years to come., Bronsteen, Buccafusco, and Masur have written a marvelous book--important, lucid, exciting, and delightful to read. . . . Once acquainted with the field of happiness studies through Happiness and the Law, no one could doubt that further work is not only worth pursuing but vitally important., For decades, cost-benefit analysis has been the government's primary method for evaluating law and regulatory options. . . . Bronsteen, Buccafusco, and Masur decry this model as insufficiently mindful of accurate understandings of human behavior. [They] make a convincing case that hedonic psychology may hold the key to a more nuanced understanding of how the law can and should shape and be shaped by human behavior., Happiness and the Law is lucid, ambitious, and thought-provoking-a well-written, well-researched, rigorously reasoned, and stimulating contribution to the burgeoning area of the behavioral analysis of law. In taking and defending a strong position on subjective well-being as the best conception of human welfare and offering compelling potential applications to law, the book will become a reference in many scholarly debates., Happiness and the Law is an important book. Bronsteen, Buccafusco and Masur (BBM) provide a well-written, thought-provoking, rigorous introduction to hedonic psychology and its many potential applications in law and policy. Numerous lessons are already ripe for consumption by policymakers. Other ideas set the stage for a fruitful research agenda that will influence policy in years to come., Provocative and well reasoned, Happiness and the Law invites readers to consider the growing body of research on what improves lives and presents a model for how this data can realistically be applied to today's policy decisions. . . . [The authors] provide an engaging discussion of a novel, yet practical, model for policy analysis . . . [and] introduce enjoyable thought experiments for casual readers while providing substantial evidence for the value of well-being analysis and its possibilities for improving not only laws, but lives., Happiness and the Law is lucid, ambitious, and thought-provoking--a well-written, well-researched, rigorously reasoned, and stimulating contribution to the burgeoning area of the behavioral analysis of law. In taking and defending a strong position on subjective well-being as the best conception of human welfare and offering compelling potential applications to law, the book will become a reference in many scholarly debates., Bronsteen, Buccafusco, and Masur bring together a number of leading thinkers to explore the question of what makes up happiness--and what factors can be demonstrated to increase or decrease it.
