La France et l’Europe sont confrontées à une crise sans précédent. Sur les questions fondamentales que sont les délocalisations, le chômage structurel, l’exclusion ou la croissance, il est plus que jamais nécessaire de battre en brèche les idées reçues pour explorer des pratiques nouvelles. Un exemple ? Nous avons trop souvent tendance à considérer que les délocalisations, dans une économie mondialisée, sont la seule façon de préserver la compétitivité des entreprises françaises. Or, à l’échelle d’un territoire, de nombreux entrepreneurs prouvent le contraire : dans la Drôme, qui a pourtant fortement souffert du déclin de l’industrie locale, le groupe Archer a mené à bien des actions de développement économique et de création d’emplois en s’appuyant sur la richesse des savoir-faire locaux et des partenariats robustes avec les PME et les collectivités locales. Rédigé par un collectif de jeunes économistes et entrepreneurs, ce court essai s’appuie sur de nombreuses innovations d’entreprises et indique le chemin pour généraliser leurs pratiques. En tenant un « discours de la preuve », L’économie qu’on aime ! offre des pistes d’action concrètes à chacun entrepreneur, dirigeant, élu ou citoyen pour innover dans un contexte morose. Ce livre a l’ambition, au-delà des initiatives analysées, de proposer un nouveau modèle d’économie.

The most comprehensive handbook on happiness ever published, exploring psychological, philosophical, evolutionary, economic, and spiritual approaches to happiness in a single volume. Contributors are established, forward-thinking experts in their fields, resulting in a book that is a commanding and powerful review of the field. Forewords by His Majesty the King Jigme Khesar of Bhutan and Professor Felicia Huppert, University of Cambridge, UK. Written in a scholarly but accessible tone. In recent decades there has been a shift in focus from psychological and social problems-what might be called the "dark side" of humanity-to human well-being and flourishing. The Positive Psychology movement, along with changes in attitudes toward organisational and societal health, has generated a surge of interest in human happiness. The Oxford Handbook of Happiness is the definitive text for researchers and practitioners interested in human happiness. Its editors and chapter contributors are world leaders in the investigation of happiness across the fields of psychology, organizational behaviour, education, philosophy, social policy and economics. The study of happiness is at the nexus of four major scientific developments: the growing field of Positive Psychology which researches the conditions that make people flourish; advances in the biological and affective sciences which have contributed to the understanding of positive emotions; Positive Organizational Scholarship, an emerging discipline aimed at investigating and fostering excellence in organisations; and findings from economics indicating that traditional markers of economic and societal well-being are insufficient. The Oxford Handbook of Happiness offers readers a coherent, multi-disciplinary, and accessible text on the current state-of-the-art in happiness research. This volume features ten sections that focus on psychological, philosophical, evolutionary, economic and spiritual approaches to happiness; happiness in society, education, organisations and relationships; and the assessment and development of happiness. Readers will find information on psychological constructs such as resilience, flow, and emotional intelligence; theories including broaden-and-build and self-determination; and explorations of topics including collective virtuousness, psychological capital, coaching, environmental sustainability and economic growth. This handbook will be useful to academics, practitioners, teachers, students, and all those interested in theory and research on human happiness. Readership: Psychologists, philosophers, economists, counsellors, coaches, therapists, consultants, teachers, and students.
