They emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary approaches, merging fields such as sociology, psychology, and economics to capture a holistic view of well-being.

Through theoretical discourse and empirical research, the book aims to inform both policymakers and the general public about the significance of quality of life. It calls for a deeper engagement with the values that shape our experiences, ultimately inspiring a collective action toward enhancing well-being in an increasingly complex world.
