What do we study when we study well-being? This is a question that researchers engaged in interdisciplinary collaboration must contemplate. Even though well-being is a shared subject of study, there is no single, unambiguous definition for it. From the perspectives of different disciplines, well-being is conceptualized in various ways, and no single discipline or method can fully capture all its dimensions. The foundation of this book lies in years of discussion within an interdisciplinary research community and the ongoing effort to understand well-being both as a phenomenon and as a research subject. Since 2016, the HYTTI network of well-being researchers at the University of Jyväskylä has explored the relationships between health and well-being through seminars and monthly meetings. In these discussions, involving researchers from various human sciences, we have recognized how essential it is to examine well-being as a dynamic and multidimensional concept. Opening up this discussion to a broader audience and presenting current research from different fields have served as the basis for this collection of articles. The book is intended for researchers across disciplines as well as anyone interested in human sciences approaches to well-being research. It is also suitable as a textbook.
