ART-OF-LIVING - BERNHARD SCHMITZ GEBUNDEN

This volume examines the questions of what constitutes a good life and how one can achieve
happiness and well-being  and analyses different ways in which people can strive for a good
life. First  it presents an overview on important concepts in psychology that are related to
living a good life. Then  a new approach is introduced: the concept of art-of-living as a
holistic way to reach happiness. Empirical studies are reported involving a questionnaire for
measuring art-of-living  and the validity of the questionnaire is demonstrated with respect to
a wide range of concepts. In addition  the volume provides results from empirical studies 
showing that  and how  art-of-living and happiness can be enhanced. Several intervention
studies are described in detail  which have been performed with different groups of subjects 
including pupils  university students and employees. Also  results of interviews are summarized
which were held with people who had been nominated as exemplaryartists-of-living. The volume
concludes with a description of art-of-living in autobiographies  and presents suggestions for
further research with respect to art-of-living.
