The topic of flourishing has bounced around philosophical, medical, and religious circles for millenniums. And here we are in 2022 still struggling with our existence. Perhaps, flourishing will never be universally resolved, but we can, however, flourish in our individual journeys.
I have spent the last fifteen years researching the psychology of wellness, delving into the specifics of human flourishing. Each new finding may resolve one question, but open up new avenues for study. Along the way, through the countless articles and books, and thousand of hours of thought and research, I quietly found my peace, embracing the complexity.
May the Flourishing Life Society's large and growing database of psychology and wellness articles (over 600 articles) assist in better understanding human behavior, contributing to a more effective practice, or in your personal research of the vast universe of the human experience.
"No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable." ~Adam Smith
