--> What is Human Flourishing?
Human well-being or flourishing consists in a broad range of states and outcomes. Flourishing might be understood as living in a state in which all aspects of a person’s life are good including, but not limited to, happiness and life satisfaction, physical and mental health, meaning and purpose, character and virtue, and close social relationships. Dr. VanderWeele will propose ways we can measure and enhance human flourishing and discuss implications for personal well-being, for research, and for policy.
