The Hidden Wealth of Nations
by David Halpern
David Halpern is one of these people who loves statistics and it is full of fascinating angles on why it is that some societies seem to have higher levels of happiness, compassion, caring, volunteering, and on how you generate these things. It is a very timely book because if we are moving into a period of public sector austerity, the capacity to look after each other will need to become much greater.
