About this book
Reviews
“The book’s main contribution is to point out that until now positive psychology, and mainstream psychology more generally, have spoken very little about states of relaxation, rest, ease, and pleasurable reflection. Brief chapters examine leisure’s link to personal relationships, altruism, spirituality, community and organizational life, wellbeing and quality of life, amusement and self-fulfillment, and creativity and play. … Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.” (D. S. Dunn, Choice, Vol. 53 (10), June, 2016)
