This book explores the multifaceted concept of quality of life from diverse geographical and cultural perspectives, focusing particularly on Chinese, Western, and global contexts. With a critical examination of existing literature largely dominated by Western frameworks, the authors aim to broaden the understanding of quality of life by integrating insights from Chinese culture and other global viewpoints.
By drawing upon various research methodologies and theoretical approaches, the authors highlight the unique factors that influence well-being across different societies. Their analysis offers valuable perspectives for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners who seek to enrich the discourse surrounding quality of life in a more inclusive and culturally sensitive manner.
