Wellbeing: The Five Essential Elements (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
I enjoyed this book which considers wellbeing as composed of 5 essential elements: Career Wellbeing, Social Wellbeing, Financial Wellbeing, Physical Wellbeing and Community Wellbeing. I particularly found interesting their view that Career Wellbeing is the most essential element, after all, it is our career/work that we spend most of our time doing and gives us an identity. If we are not engaged and thriving in the workplace, this will impact all parts of our life. I'm sure anyone who has suddenly lost their job, is dependent on another, or had problems finding employment might agree. While I appreciate the amount of research and thought into well being, I felt that an essential element was missing and it was faith. Almost every other aspect of my wellbeing is impacted by the current strength of my relationship with God. So while I will work hard to keep the five elements discussed in the "thriving" category, I will also put focus on my spiritual life, as that greatly impacts all else.
