Dougal Sutherland: What do we mean when we say “wellbeing”? - Saturday Morning with Jack Tame

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: 

1. Feeling good, happy, satisfied with life (sometimes called hedonic wellbeing) 
2. Having meaning & purpose in life, leading a fulfilling life, accepting who you are (eudaimonic wellbeing) 
3. 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
