DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis handbook provides the latest research related to quality of life and sustainability, taking into account social, economic, environmental, and political/governance aspects as well as specific socio-spatial contexts. The volume includes contributions from established and upcoming scholars from various disciplines and geographical contexts (Global South and North). The varying cultural and socio-spatial contexts of the authors in the selected cases contribute to first-hand knowledge on the realities of sustainability issues affecting the quality of life. The authors apply a wide diversity of methods and tools, which facilitates a unique understanding of the interlinkages between quality of life and sustainability. The chapters are grouped in three main sections: concepts and foundations; tools, techniques, and applications; and innovations. The authors provide their own view and theoretical approximation of the dimensions of sustainability, in particular on how these dimensions play out in relation to quality of life. The combination of sustainability and quality of life concepts and perspectives is particularly important in unravelling the multi-faceted nature of human, urban, rural/spatial development.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPortada trasera Nacemos genéticamente predispuestos a buscar la felicidad por todas partes y al final solo la obtenemos por cortos períodos de tiempo. ¿Cuál es la razón? Se debe a que desconocemos tres aspectos fundamentales que se esconden en los siguientes tres grandes interrogantes: ¿Es posible alcanzar la felicidad permanente? ¿Cuál es el camino para llegar a la felicidad permanente? ¿Para qué nos sirve ser feliz y cuáles son sus frutos? Luego de dedicarle tiempo a la reflexión sobre estos grandes interrogantes, nace el libro: "La Ruta del Hechizo" en el cual se plantea la Felicidad Filosófica, para que hagas de ella, una filosofía de vida y así disfrutes la felicidad permanente. Además, es la primera vez en la historia, que podemos medir la felicidad área por área, al igual que el sistema de emociones que le da vida y energía al alma. Este aporte es muy importante, porque nos permite enfocarnos en las áreas críticas de la Felicidad Filosófica y del conjunto de emociones, de tal manera que se nos haga más fácil rectificar en aquellos aspectos donde estamos fallando. Por la importancia de los planteamientos que aquí se hacen, este libro es como el teléfono celular, antes de que existiera, no era necesario, y hoy, quien no tenga uno, anda desconectado. Si eres mayor de 18 años, no dejes de leer este libro.
