Wellbeing
by Tom Rath and Jim Harter
Gallup's five elements of wellbeing from global research: career, social, financial, physical and community, and the finding that only a small minority thrive in all five. Each chapter has data and practical recommendations. It is short, clear and broad.
Read it if…
you want a simple framework for assessing your whole life.
Skip it if…
you want depth in one area; it is a survey.
Three things you will actually use
- Career wellbeing drives the others.
- Six hours of social time a day predicts thriving.
- Financial security matters more than income.
Do this first
Rate yourself on the five elements and work on the lowest.
Our verdict
Short, clear framework.
