My book A Philosophy for the Science of Wellbeing (2017 OUP) reached 500 citations. Thanks to everyone who engaged with my ideas there. Hope I can be forgiven the self-congratulatory content because it's not only. These are comparatively high numbers for an academic philosophy book, but note... 1/n - ThreadSky

Recently @bweatherson.bsky.social did a valuable analysis of most cited books in philosophy journals and my book correctly did not make the list despite having more than twice the citations of the top entry. Showing that my citations come overwhelmingly from outside these journals and of philosophy

It is gratifying to be read outside my motherfield, but also a bit confusing because it is a very nerdy book with some forbidding content in the middle. Here's the introduction in case anyone is interested https://philarchive.org/archive/ALEAPF-2

here's the paperback. The cover the OUP proposed initially shocked me but overtime grew on me and I started thinking of her as my own profile. I like jewellery and wouldn't be averse to wearing a christal. Maybe I should treat myself to one in celebration

Congratulations, Anna! What a milestone! Btw, I'm teaching your BJPS paper ("Can the Science of Well-Being Be Objective?") in my philosophy of medicine course.

Appreciate it, Daniel! There’s a lot of choice what to assign in a course like this. So glad to make the cut 🙏
