Good health and wellbeing are fundamental human goals – we all have a desire to feel good and function well. While good health is often clinically defined as the absence of disease or impairment, wellbeing takes a much broader perspective integrating physical and mental health, positive emotion, vitality, personal fulfillment, meaning and satisfaction in life. In this sense, wellbeing is achieved when we feel good, and capable to realize our aspirations, satisfy our needs and cope with the inevitable challenges life brings to our pursuit of the good life. This track will feature talks focused on the determinants of wellbeing and solutions intended to advance the wellbeing of individuals and communities.
