Measuring happiness : the economics of well-being / Joachim Weimann, Andreas Knabe, and Ronnie Schöb.
The authors examine the evolution of happiness research, considering the famous "Easterlin Paradox," which found that people's average life satisfaction didn't seem to depend on their income. But they question whether happiness research can measure what needs to be measured.
