Sitāyish-i shādmānah: tabyīn-i nishāṭ-i ijtimāʻī dar Īrān

In this sociological treatise, Mūsá ‘Anbarī investigates the dynamics of social happiness within the context of contemporary Īrān. Titled Sitāyish-i shādmānah (Joyful Praise), the work argues that historical Iranian happiness was deeply rooted in a "culture of nature" and spiritual connection, a bond that has been disrupted by rapid technological modernization and the commodification of lifestyle. The author provides a comprehensive analysis of social indicators—including employment, security, and leisure—drawing on national surveys from the 1380s and 1390s [2000s and 2010s] to map the current state of public vitality. ‘Anbarī critiques the ideological imposition of development models that neglect indigenous cultural psychology and offers policy recommendations for fostering a sustainable, cheerful society grounded in local traditions and Islamic values.
