Description
Discover a groundbreaking perspective on personal and collective flourishing in this transformative book. Unveiling a dynamic synthesis of wellness, fairness, and worthiness, it presents a blueprint for thriving on personal, relational, occupational, systemic, community, and planetary scales. Move beyond the confines of individual well-being; embrace a holistic approach that encompasses entire groups, workplaces, communities, nations, and the world. While traditional psychology focused on personal thriving, the need for fostering the common good is now more urgent than ever-to combat pandemics, address climate change, champion peace, battle injustice, and elevate well-being globally. Dive into a compelling conceptual framework that guides theory, research, and action to tackle pressing global issues. This book pioneers a concise and powerful framework-three pillars of thriving: wellness, fairness, and worthiness. Join the movement towards a world where collective thriving is not just a goal, but a reality for all.
