Literacy for happiness, where we going?

Abstract

In our current, interest in the study of happiness has grown significantly. This growing interest has generated an infinite number of proposals and policies that include strategies to seek, find and implement happiness. Although we found relevant research with multidisciplinary approaches, it is impossible to reach a consensus on the concept of happiness itself. The current socialization in happi- ness presents incongruities and contradictions between the di erent approaches. In this chapter we propose an alternative to the current socialization in happiness focused on Education for Development and Collaborative Learning. Our purpose is to lay the foundations to homogenize and adapt the idea of happiness to the current reality and to the new social challenges we face.
