Flourishing Life

The Psychology of Wellness

Flourishing Life Society has extensively researched the factors contributing to a flourishing life.

The topic of flourishing has bounced around philosophical, medical, and religious circles for millenniums. And, here we are in 2021 still struggling with our existence. Perhaps, flourishing will never be universally resolved, but we can, however, flourish in our individual journeys.

Our survival is secured, the standard of living exploded, and life expectancies continue to expand. Yet, flourishing still stalls. Our emotions weigh us down, stagnating growth, and leaving us disappointed and discouraged.

While an exact list of dos and don'ts isn't practical nor universally applicable, science has narrowed down general areas of importance that contribute to wellness and a sense of flourishing.

Physical Health - Emotional Health - Relationship Health

"No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable."
Adam Smith

At Flourishing Life Society, we provide timely information, pulling from past theories and new studies to provide insight for your personal explorations into wellness. We try to provide accurate and useful information. However, individual requirements for health and wellness vary. Relationships, physical health, and emotions are dynamic and personal. The information here is only general. When diagnosing, treating or implementing major changes, please consult with appropriate professionals for guidance.

"'Who do you think you are?' That's the big one, isn't it? A flourishing life depends on how you answer that."
Robert Fulghum

Our desire here at Flourishing Life Society is to bring a little light to your life, lift some of the burden with wellness advice that contributes to your individual path of flourishing.

Blessings and Flourishing,

Troy Franklin Murphy

Environments dictate the success and failure of life. We flourish when environments are accommodating. But humans can transcend this, achieving more than the world would otherwise dictate.

A wave of pop psychology, suggesting happiness is paramount,often neglects the importance of others. We can improve the feeling states. But science is clear, rich and fulfilling lives include healthy connections with others.
