Cities and countries around the world, from New Zealand to
Singapore to Iceland, are starting to take a well-being approach by
reorienting policies, budgets and other actions to advance human
and planetary well-being. Well-being metrics-holistic measurements
of an individual's or population's capacity to thrive, including
the condition of their community, society, and environment-provide
a nuanced and predictive view that transcends purely economic
measures; they illuminate conditions of inequity and despair that
other tools ignore, and expand the notion of health beyond simply
the absence of disease. Well-Being: Expanding the Definition of
Progress summarizes the experiences and insights of practitioners,
researchers and innovators from around the world, gathered together
by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to explore how a well-being
approach might further spread in the United States. Centered in the
commitment to balance economic growth-the traditional dashboard of
progress-with well-being, this book is a combination of scientific
papers, case studies from the field, and excerpts from a lively,
multidisciplinary discussion which intentionally connects issues of
measurement to the imperative for action. Rich with insights on
policy and practice, narratives and culture, equity and shifts in
power, alignment with other movements, and cross-sector
collaboration, it is intended to inspire governmental leaders,
policymakers, economists, measurement scientists, reporters, and
others who crave a more integrated and balanced pursuit of
progress.
