Why, then, is happiness rarely mentioned as an aim of education? This book explores what we might teach if we were to take happiness seriously as an aim of education. It asks, first, what it means to be happy and, second, how we can help children to understand what happiness is. It notes that, to be truly happy, we have to develop a capacity for unhappiness and a willingness to alleviate the suffering of others. Criticizing the present almost exclusive emphasis on economic well-being and pleasure, it discusses the contributions of making a home, parenting, cherishing a place, development of character, interpersonal growth, finding work that one loves, and participating in a democratic way of life. Finally, it explores ways in which to make schools and classrooms happy places. 606 $aEducation$xAims and objectives 606 $aHappiness 606 $aMoral education 615 0$aEducation$xAims and objectives. 615 0$aHappiness. 615 0$aMoral education. 676 $a370/.1 700 $aNoddings$b Nel$0915780 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817426303321 996 $aHappiness and education$94024088 997 $aUNINA
