The latest theories and debates on what it means to be "happy" and how prospective pharmacological agents can enhance our capacity for happiness Happy-People-Pills for All explores current theories of happiness while demonstrating the need to develop advanced pharmacological agents for the enhancement of our capacity for happiness and wellbeing. The controversial yet rigorous argument demonstrates the moral imperative for the development and mass distribution of "happy-pills," to promote the wellbeing of the individual and society. Bringing together the philosophy, psychology, and biology of happiness, the book maps the development of the next generation of positive-mood pharmacology.
