Introduction. Happiness and Domestic LIfe

Recently, the literature on happiness has taken the role of social interaction and place attachment seriously. Even in the economic sphere, the importance of relational goods in achieving subjective and social well-being is increasingly emphasized. The home is the privileged place where it is possible to enjoy relational goods, in particular those deriving from family ties. The authors of the book, from different perspectives, explore the contribution of the home to the well-being, content and happiness of individuals and by implication and evidence to wider society. They ask to what extent doesdo the quality of domestic life and the home environment (family relationships, environment, technical tools, housing style) influence individual and social happiness, particularly in the context of current changes, such as those produced by the recent COVID-19 pandemic.
