Bibliography on Happiness
Whether or not Yue Minjun’s artwork depicts people who are actually happy is a topic for you to debate. Regardless, the many individuals involved with this exhibition would like to use it as an opportunity to inspire genuine happiness. As a first step towards that end, we offer the following bibliography and webography. These references will direct you towards the work of numerous authors and psychologists who help children and adults to think positively, be optimistic and become happier.
