Toward an Integrated Science of Wellbeing

Editat de Elizabeth Rieger, Robert Costanza, Ida Kubiszewski, Paul Dugdale
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 iun 2023
There has always been interest in understanding what constitutes the good life and the basis for creating it. Much has been written about health and wellbeing at multiple scales, from the physical and psychological through to the societal and environmental. Wellbeing has been studied from the perspectives of psychology, medicine, economics, social science, ecology, and political science. However, the interconnections between these scales and perspectives have received far less attention, even though understanding these interdependencies is critical to the comprehensive understanding of wellbeing and how to improve it.In Toward an Integrated Science of Wellbeing, the contributing authors connect these diverse scales and perspectives to better guide wellbeing research and public policy. The book is divided into four sections representing each domain of wellbeing research--psychological, human biological, societal, and environmental--but the authors extend their work to consider the interconnections between these domains, seeking integration across all scales throughout. Individual chapters explore topics such as indigenous perspectives and wellbeing, wellbeing in higher education, positive ageing, inequality and wellbeing, health and climate change, and greenspaces and wellbeing.This integrated approach offers a first step toward a more complete understanding of wellbeing that can propel wellbeing research and initiatives in novel and fruitful directions.

Recenzii

For too long, various dimensions of a rich and multidimensional understanding of wellbeing have, in practice, been researched and discussed in isolation. Bringing together their interconnections offers a more useful and relevant appreciation of how the world works, but also a more hopeful way of envisaging and building a better future."
An integrated science of wellbeing taking its cue more from the inclusive vision of Alfred Russell Wallace than from his narrower but more famous co-discoverer of natural selection, Charles Darwin, provides an enlightening and constructive change of perspective. Highly recommended."
As the world seeks to build forward better from the devastating socio-economic effects of COVID-19 and advance progress across the Sustainable Development Goals, it is vital to find better ways to measure progress
This volume offers a compelling overview of the most recent and relevant developments of the emerging Science of Well-Being. By bringing together findings and frameworks from various disciplines and fields of research and by connecting the economic, social, environmental, relational and personal dimensions of well-being, the book advances the understanding of the topic in a fundamental way. It also provides numerous insights for policy and opens avenues for future research. A must read for all scholars, practitioners and decision-makers committed to improving people's well-being in a sustainable manner."
Toward an Integrated Science of Wellbeing provides a fascinating and internationalist tour of how wellbeing is being conceptualised and operationalised at the psychological, health and wellbeing, societal and environmental levels. Importantly it integrates interactions across levels and gives readers a vision for societal redesign that provides hope for the future."
Highly topical and timely. This systemic approach to well-being, encompassing the personal, the social and the environmental dimensions of a good life, is much needed for tackling the complex threats of our times."
