I work at the intersection of value theory and psychology. Broadly speaking, I am interested in the connection between human nature and the good life. My research focuses mainly on the psychology of well-being and its connections with issues in ethical and political thought, as well as empirical research on well-being. Currently, my work has several strands, following up in various ways on a recent book, The Pursuit of Unhappiness: The Elusive Psychology of Well-Being (Oxford, 2008).
I am also writing Happiness: A Very Short Introduction, under contract for Oxford University Press. | Department of Philosophy Saint Louis University 3800 Lindell Blvd., Rm. 130 St. Louis, MO 63108 Office phone: 314-977-3150 Fax: 314-977-3696 Email: haybron AT gmail DOT com Curriculum Vitae Official SLU Page New! 2012 Henle Conference on Happiness and Well-Being |
