Oren Bar-Gill, Guilty Pleasures, New Rambler Rev., (Mar. 9, 2015) (reviewing John Bronsteen, Chrisopher Buccafusco & Jonathan S. Masur, Happiness and the Law (2014)).


Abstract: Happiness and the Law is an important book. Bronsteen, Buccafusco and Masur (BBM) provide a well-written, thought-provoking, rigorous introduction to hedonic psychology and its many potential applications in law and policy. Numerous lessons are already ripe for consumption by policymakers. Other ideas set the stage for a fruitful research agenda that will influence policy in years to come.
