O knihe

"Cultural Constructions of Comfort: Understanding Global Well-being" explores the diverse ways cultures worldwide conceptualize and achieve well-being. Bridging the gap between anthropology and psychology, the book offers a nuanced examination of comfort across different societies. It analyzes Western, Asian, African, Middle Eastern, and Indigenous perspectives, considering how environmental, economic, social, and political factors influence individual and communal well-being. Each chapter combines case studies, theoretical frameworks, and empirical data to illustrate the complex interplay of these factors. Targeting academics like anthropologists, sociologists, and psychologists, the text also provides valuable insights for travelers and those interested in cross-cultural well-being. By integrating interdisciplinary approaches, it highlights the global pursuit of happiness and offers considerations on navigating the challenges of maintaining well-being amid rapid technological and social changes.
