This rewarding, engrossing volume documents the diverse mosaic of America in the words of the people from many lands, who for more than a century have made our country what it is today.

Media and research tend to focus on social problems in today's world - from terrorism and natural disasters to environmental degradation, conflict and economic decline. Yet many countries are also placing the promotion of well-being central at the heart of their social agenda. So what can we say about human progress and the development of civilization? This book considers the brighter side of our world today by exploring the ways in which wellbeing is on an upward swing globally. Systematically considering indicators of human well-being in terms of economics, health and education, alongside subjective notions of wellbeing, the book draws together research and data from around the world. It uses the United Nations Development Programme's Human Development Index as an underlying framework from which to examine the ways in which wellbeing has improved since WWII. Analysing leading scholarship and empirical work aloows the authors to determine policy recommendations for how we might continue to build a better world of human wellbeing.

Inspired by the 19th-century German philosopher Max Stirner's dialectical egoism, Bokai Bi sets out to seek a new guiding principle in our lives that is internal instead of external to our own and eventually arrives at a conclusion counterintuitive to most - that by collectively abandoning the pursuit of morality and take back full control over ourselves the world would instead become a better place for all individuals. In its discussion of the personal state of being, this book synthesized various ideas about both physical and mental constraints on the individual from famous thinkers such as Stirner and Mill, as well as incorporated some original ideas of the author's own. Major topics discussed in this book include the nature of existence and values, the inevitable fact that everyone is an egoist, and perhaps most importantly the illusory and powerless nature of the obligations of the "spirits", name given to fixated doctrines external to one's own, such as societal morality, the law, and "progress" in the Hegelian context.
