    Smiling
    (Springer Nature Switzerland, 2026)
    This chapter delves into the intricate relationship between smiles, laughter, and human reactions to humor, examining the historical and modern perspectives on these expressions. Traditionally, smiling and laughing were seen as distinct in their moral implications, with smiling often celebrated as classy and tasteful, while laughter was deemed excessive and unpleasant. Recent advancements in neuroscience and psychology, however, challenge this conventional wisdom by revealing different organic underpinnings for these actions and unveiling various types of smiles and laughter. Drawing upon what I call the classical theory of laughter (CTL) and the modern theory of laughter (MTL), I will first explore how our understanding of these phenomena has been reshaped. Then I will argue that despite these transformations, the classical account regarding humoristic laughter remains relevant, and I will highlight the enduring moral implications of these expressions in light of contemporary scientific discoveries. ©The author ©Springer.

    Classical Islamic Philosophy
    (Springer Nature Switzerland, 2026)
    This chapter explores the role of humor (hazl/muzāḥ) and laughter (ḍāḥik) within the classical Islamic intellectual tradition with special emphasis on the philosophical approach. It provides, first, an overview of some relevant studies dealing with humor and laughter in the Qurʾān and the ḥādīth materials. Then, it deals with joking and laughter in one of the most prominent Islamic theologians, namely, al-Ghazālī. Finally, it moves on to a philosophical approach to humor, joking, and laughter. Even though philosophers in Islamic lands did not treat the various manifestations of humor systematically, in several works they expressed their views in this regard usually in the context of ethical and educational discussions on the shaping of moral character, self-control, the psychology of emotions, and the moral role of poetry. I collect, perhaps for the first time, references on humor and its manifestations from the philosophical works of al-Kindī, al-Abū Bakr Rāzī, al-Fārābī, the Syriac Christian Jacobite Yaḥyā ibn ʿAdī, Miskawayh, and Avicenna. The chapter concludes with a brief comparison between the different approaches to humor and laughter within the Islamic intellectual tradition. ©The author ©Springer.

    Sustainable Startups Through Green Entrepreneurial Migration
    (Springer Nature Singapore, 2026)

    Ventures established by green migrant entrepreneurs are community and environmental-focused, aiming to solve social problems, community needs, and local environmental challenges, while uplifting economically disadvantaged groups and contributing to the sustainable development goals (SDGs), especially SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy), SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production) and SDG 13 (climate action). Startups of green migrant entrepreneurs often address the social dimensions of sustainability by creating employment, supporting marginalized communities, and fostering inclusive practices. Despite challenges, green migrant entrepreneurs continue to demonstrate leadership in sustainable and climate-resilient ventures, which promotes low-carbon economic growth, a greener business landscape, quality of life, and environmental safety. © The authors © Palgrave Macmillan.

    Nelli Ohtli: Buen Vivir of the Ancient Nahuas
    (Springer Nature Switzerland, 2026)
    Oseguera Gamba, Jorge
    ;
    Cuellar Moreno, José Manuel
    This chapter explores the conception of well-being in Nahua culture, with the aim of diversifying approaches to happiness and offering new perspectives on the Latin American paradox of happiness. This paradox describes the tendency of Latin American countries to report high levels of subjective well-being, despite their adverse socio-economic conditions. The authors argue that understanding indigenous worldviews, such as the Nahua, can shed light on the factors contributing to this phenomenon. The study is based on the analysis of historical documentary sources in Nahuatl, Spanish and Latin, complemented by current ethnographic studies. Pre-Hispanic texts, accounts by chroniclers such as Sahagún and Durán, as well as contemporary research on Nahua philosophy and education, are examined. Unlike Western conceptions of well-being, which tend to focus on material progress, the Nahua conceived the good life as a dynamic equilibrium in an unstable world (nepantla). Their worldview was based on a dialectical polar monism, in which reality is conceived as a constant back-and-forth of complementary opposites (life/death, order/chaos, light/darkness). This perspective avoided fixed dichotomies between good and evil, promoting instead an ethic of balance and adaptation. The Nahua conceived of well-being as a well-rooted path (nelli ohtli), paved with discipline, respect and community. Their moral education emphasised character formation (in ixtli, in yóllotl - face and heart), self-discipline and respect for nature, community and ancestors. This sense of collectivity and the importance of friendship (icniuhyotl) were key to coping with the uncertainty of life. This chapter offers an alternative look at well-being, rescuing Nahua wisdom to rethink current models of happiness and quality of life in Latin America. ©The author © Springer.

    Greenhushing and Socialhushing: Two Steps Forward and One Step Back?
    (Springer Nature Switzerland, 2026)
    Leaders and decision-makers around the world have been determined to achieve sustainable development for decades. Despite the efforts and advancements, there is still a long way to go to ensure long-term responsible growth and development. Organizations play an important role in the path toward progress; however, there are many that mislead their stakeholders or are choosing not to disclose their practices, also known as hushing. How do greenhushing and socialhushing impact stakeholders’ perceptions and decision-making, and the achievement of global sustainable development? This conceptual study contributes to literature on corporate social responsibility, stakeholder behavior, and sustainable development.

    The Paradox of Sustainable Living and Luxury Lifestyles: A Case Study on the Environmental Cost of Luxury Consumption
    (Emerald Publishing Limited, 2026)

    Air pollution poses a serious and urgent threat to life on Earth, with wide-ranging impacts on both people and the planet. At the heart of this crisis is the burning of fossil fuels, which drives greenhouse gas emissions and leads to severe environmental and social consequences. One of the most pressing challenges today is understanding which groups contribute most to this problem, especially when it comes to lifestyle choices and energy use. This study explores the link between luxury lifestyles and environmental degradation, focusing on the Indian context. It examines how socioeconomic differences influence the level of fossil fuel consumption, particularly among wealthier groups whose excessive use of energy and resources contributes significantly to pollution and climate change. The research aims to highlight the environmental costs of luxury living and the urgent need to rethink consumption patterns for the sake of future generations. Using a multifaceted approach, the study includes an in-depth analysis of fossil fuel use globally, a comparison between high-income and low-income consumption habits, and an evaluation of the environmental and quality-of-life impacts tied to luxury. Findings show that affluent populations have a disproportionately large ecological footprint, especially in sectors like electricity and transport. This report concludes by offering recommendations to policymakers, businesses, and advertisers to raise public awareness and encourage more sustainable lifestyles. The goal is to reduce the environmental damage linked to luxury consumption and promote a more equitable and eco-friendly future. © The authors © Emerald.
