Dougal Sutherland: What do we mean when we say “wellbeing”?

It’s important to know what you mean so you’re clear on what you’re aiming for. 

Wellbeing could be defined in at least one of 3 ways: 

Feeling good, happy, satisfied with life (sometimes called hedonic wellbeing) 
Having meaning & purpose in life, leading a fulfilling life, accepting who you are (eudaimonic wellbeing) 
Leading a life full of rich & varied experiences – doesn’t mean you will necessarily feel positive in the moment but leads to longer term broader view of life incorporating different perspectives
