Abstract
Thank you for taking the time to link to this book. When we set out on this journey, the intention was to integrate scientific evidence, spiritual aspects, traditional knowledge, mysticism and other means and methods of exploring the links between sustainability and happiness. Within, you will find both theoretical and applied perspectives on the relationships between sustainability and happiness from an international group of scholars. The goal is to further establish studies a global network of individuals thinking about, feeling into, and living a simultaneously happy and sustainable future. Please reach out if you are interested. Enjoy!
