Synopsis

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.
