Thank you for viewing. I purchased this book at a bookstore and have only read it once. However, please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about its condition. Thank you. [Introduction] The COVID-19 pandemic has forced people to fundamentally re-evaluate the values, consumption habits, and ways of thinking they have built up. The realization of a well-being society, which cannot be measured solely by economic growth within existing frameworks, is an urgent issue not only in Japan but also for the entire international community. Well-being is a concept that refers to a person's "good state" physically, mentally, and socially. It does not refer to the temporary happiness obtained through events such as promotion or marriage, or the ability to live a "healthy and cultured minimum standard of living" as stated in the Constitution of Japan. It is designed to use "sustainable happiness (Flourish)" as an indicator, which combines not only life satisfaction but also the complex factors that create happiness, and is not swayed by fleeting emotions. In this context, while Japan's GDP, one objective indicator of well-being, has been steadily rising and remains the third largest in the world, its ranking in the World Happiness Report published by the United Nations is 62nd out of 156 countries, highlighting a noticeable gap between its objective and subjective positions compared to other countries. Hassell CEO of the Dutch asset management company Robeco points out that the three elements of investment are "risk, return, and well-being (social happiness)." In the new capitalism, achieving well-being is also a goal. This book provides an easy-to-understand explanation of well-being, which is difficult to grasp despite the need for such efforts, for working people, those who manage subordinates, and business owners. It is co-authored by a leading expert in well-being research and a consulting professional. [Table of Contents] Chapter 1: What is Well-being? 1. Why Well-being Now? 2.
