Well-Being: Expanding the Definition of Progress, Culture of Health Book 4 Test Bank

A Well-Being Approach for a Healthier Planet

Cities and countries around the world, from New Zealand to Singapore to Iceland, are starting to take a well-being approach by reorienting policies, budgets, and other actions to advance human and planetary well-being.

Understanding Well-Being Metrics

Well-being metrics provide a nuanced and predictive view that transcends purely economic measures; they illuminate conditions of inequity and despair that other tools ignore, and expand the notion of health beyond simply the absence of disease.

Global Insights and Case Studies

Well-Being: Expanding the Definition of Progress summarizes the experiences and insights of practitioners, researchers, and innovators from around the world, gathered together by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to explore how a well-being approach might further spread in the United States.

This book combines scientific papers, case studies from the field, and excerpts from a lively, multidisciplinary discussion that intentionally connects issues of measurement to the imperative for action.
