 A manifesto for wellbeing
Our wellbeing is shaped by our genes, our upbringing, our personal circumstances and choices, and the social conditions in which we live.
Our collective wellbeing is improved if we live in a peaceful, flourishing, supportive society, so promoting wellbeing should be a public as well as a personal task.
We know, though, that the wellbeing of future generations will be heavily affected if we fail resolutely to tackle biodiversity loss, pollution and waste.

 BBC - Radio 4 - Frontiers 28/4/2004
Until recently, ‘wellbeing’ was a phrase you’d be most likely to see in the pages of women’s magazines and self-help books - a highly desirable commodity, but not one that was easy to define, let alone one that was subject to scientific analysis.
Wellbeing has become an area of serious research for many scientists who believe that discovering the essence and effects of wellbeing may be at least as important to public health than focusing on specific problems and diseases.
Wellbeing is related to personal health, community spirit, creativity and a range of thinking skills - including test-taking in schools, as Peter Evans discovers in this week's Frontiers.
