Recenzii

From the book reviews:
“Anderson’s work provides a wake-up call to those in quality of life research domains as well as a broader audience too – essentially anyone concerned with the plight of the human lot. … This book began with an ambitious goal of providing ways of thinking through the difficult and multi-dimensional issue of suffering experienced by humankind … .” (Rhonda Phillips, Applied Research Quality Life, Vol. 9, 2014)
