Balanced Life
Using Strategies from Behavioral Science to Enhance Wellbeing
Introduction to the Balanced Life
The balanced life is a state of equally moderate-to-high levels of satisfaction in important and multiple life domains that contribute to overall life satisfaction.
Purpose of the Book
This book strives to improve the reader's understanding of what the balanced life is, and how it can be both achieved and maintained. Its primary goal is therefore to identify the major principles of life balance, and to introduce a comprehensive construct of the balanced life reflective of these principles.
Significance of Life Balance
It discusses how life balance substantially contributes to subjective well-being – defined as life satisfaction, a preponderance of positive over negative feelings, and absence of ill-being – and explores strategies to attain life balance.
Achieving Life Balance
It argues that achieving life balance, through manipulating one's thoughts and taking concrete action, will lead to increased personal happiness.
Target Audience and Foundations
Aimed at professional, academic, and lay audiences, this book is grounded in scientific studies related to work-life balance and the balanced life.
