EUH Visiting Professor MAENO Takashi Professor, Graduate School of System Design and Management, Keio University |
| Details |
This talk describes the foundations of well-being and happiness studies. First, I will explain that there are two types of happiness: happiness that does not last long (happiness due to the acquisition of positional goods) and happiness that lasts long (happiness due to non-positional goods). Next, I will discuss the “four factors of happiness” obtained through factor analysis of mental factors among the happiness caused by non-positional goods, which are the “let’s try factor,” the “thank you factor,” the “somehow it will work out factor,” and the “as it is factor”. |
