description: In these 14 essays, sociologists and psychologists present conclusions of studies examining which goals make people happy. They consider goal perceptions, goal content, and ecological goals. Self-concordance, personal and social value concordance, agency- and communion-oriented life goals, values and worries, aspirations and old age, optimal functioning, intrinsic and extrinsic preferences, self-focused goals, and the cycle of flow and burnout all receive attention.
