Summary:

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, from the perspectives of diverse disciplines such as psychology, medicine, economics, social science, ecology, and political science. However, the interconnections between these perspectives have received far less attention. In 'Toward an Integrated Science of Wellbeing', the contributing authors connect these diverse perspectives and consider the interconnections between the psychological, human biological, societal, and environmental domains of wellbeing.
