Anthropology has long shied away from examining how human beings may lead happy and fulfilling lives. This book, however, shows that the ethnographic examination of wellbeingdefined as the optimal state for an individual, a community, and a societyand the comparison of wellbeing within and across societies is a new and important area for anthropological inquiry. Distinctly different in different places, but also reflecting our common humanity, wellbeing is intimately linked to the idea of happiness and its pursuits. Noted anthropological researchers have come together in this volume to examine wellbeing in a range of diverse ways and to investigate it in a range of settings: from the Peruvian Amazon, the Australian outback, and the Canadian north, to India, China, Indonesia, Japan, and the United States.
