Whether you're looking for more joy in your life or sustainable ways to thrive in hard times, Lasting Wellbeing will help you assess your well-being in five essential dimensions and identify which research-backed practices will open up your life to long-term happiness, clarity, and peace of mind. Drawing on data collected from more than 10,000 people across 25 countries, psychologist Matt Bloom distills three decades of research into clear, science-backed strategies for coping with the stress, burnout, and anxiety in our increasingly demanding world. Explore dozens of practices to build a tailored wellness toolkit that will empower you to: Boost resilience and cognitive flexibility with exercises like conscious disobedience or strategic self-distancing; Reengage your focus in positive, meaningful activities through mental tricks like temptation bundling or mental contrasting; Uphold your core convictions through dedicated practices like centered prayer or drafting a table of contents for your autobiography; Cultivate daily calm and release stress through walking meditation or breathing exercises; Create joy by learning to more intentionally savor moments of wonder and pleasure. Today, prioritizing self-care can take many forms. Lasting Wellbeing isn't a one-size-fits all wellness approach - it's a repository of time-tested, easy-to-adopt mental health practices, and a guide to finding your individual path to true wellbeing.
