Abstract

En 中文
<jats:p>In the year of America’s semi quincentennial, many are reflecting on our nation’s proclaimed right to happiness. What would our Founding Fathers make of our acrimonious and divisive politics, of the role of social media in the diminished self-images of our youth, or of the steady rise in depression and suicidal ideation over the past decade? This editorial joins debates about what conditions are contributing to declines in happiness and challenges health promotion professionals to focus on the proven role that common health practices play in bolstering emotional well-being.</jats:p>
