Happiness was once understood as a communal project tied to justice and shared flourishing, but over time, it evolved into something individual and small. "Now the challenge seems clear: to reclaim a deeper, more demanding vision of what it means to live well in a fractured world — and restore happiness to its proper scale."
Kwame Anthony Appiah
