  • Human wellbeing is a broad concept that encompasses many aspects of our lives, including our physical, mental, emotional, and social health. It is also influenced by our relationships with others, our environment, and our sense of purpose in life.

    There is no single definition of human wellbeing that is universally accepted. However, it is generally understood to be a state of being in which we are able to live our lives to the fullest and achieve our full potential. Wellbeing is important because it has a significant impact on our overall quality of life. When we are feeling well, we are more likely to be happy, healthy, and productive. We are also more likely to have strong relationships and make positive contributions to our communities.

  • There are many factors that contribute to human wellbeing. Some of the most important include:
    • Physical health: This includes having a healthy body weight, eating a nutritious diet, and getting regular exercise.
    • Mental health: This includes feeling happy and fulfilled, having positive relationships, and being able to cope with stress and adversity.
    • Emotional health: This includes being able to manage our emotions in a healthy way and feeling good about ourselves.
    • Social health: This includes having strong relationships with family and friends, and feeling connected to our community.
    • Economic security: This includes having enough money to meet our basic needs and having a stable job.
    • Purpose in life: This includes having a sense of meaning and direction in our lives.

  • Well-being or welfare is a general term for the condition of an individual or group, for example their social, economic, psychological, spiritual or medical state; high well-being means that, in some sense, the individual or group's experience is positive, while low well-being is associated with negative happenings.

    In economics, the term is used for one or more QuantitativeTemplate:Disambiguation needed measures intended to assess the quality of life of a group, for example, in the capabilities approach and the economics of happiness. Like the related cognate terms 'wealth' and 'welfare', economics sources may contrast the state with its opposite. The study of well-being is divided in subjective well-being and objective well-being.
