Life Goals and Well-Being: Towards a Positive Psychology of Human Striving

by Peter Schmuck (Editor), Mihály Csíkszentmihályi (Foreword), Kennon M. Sheldon (Editor)

In these 14 essays, sociologists and psychologists present conclusions of studies examining which goals make people happy. They consider goal perceptions, goal content, and ecological goals. Self-concordance, personal and social value concordance, agency- and communion-oriented life goals, values and worries, aspirations and old age, optimal functioning, intrinsic and extrinsic preferences, self-focused goals, and the cycle of flow and burnout all receive attention.
