About

This fourth edition of Leisure Enhancement is a unique introductory textbook in that it presents intellectually challenging information in a format that enables its practical application to improve the reader’s leisure and life in general.

The three major goals of this book are:

  • To foster a better understanding of personal and societal leisure behavior,
  • To facilitate the application of theories, concepts, and data to improve personal leisure well-being,
  • To broaden perspectives on leisure and enable adaptation to future changes.

These three goals, if met, will lead to the attainment of the ultimate purpose of this book, which is to facilitate maximal leisure well-being.
