Wellbeing
Through a unique amalgam of story, personal reflection, and philosophical
analysis, Alison Webster attempts to get 'under the skin' of the concept
of "wellbeing" as it is evolving in today's culture. She suggests that it
embraces mental and physical health, but also questions of identity and
belonging, and a sense of human connection, purpose, meaning and value. In
other words, the agenda generated by wellbeing is akin to that which has
traditionally been addressed by religion and spirituality. |
