Leisure and the quality of life

This book is about the 1970 national conference and consultation on Leisure and the Quality of Life. Questions are: what are the qualities of the ‘good life’ for contemporary Americans? Is leisure time for most Americans really on the increase? What are the critical issues and problems influencing leisure policy? What leisure policy options are open to use? What effect might the exercise of the various options have on our quality of life? What role should education play in developing a quality of life in a leisure-centered society? What effect does the quality of the environment have on leisure and the quality of life? Is there a positive relation between leisuren and human health? Is there a declining effect of puritanism on leisure living? Can we develop a new leisure/ work ethic?
