Katelyn Carney, DVM, DACVIM (LAIM): Well-being to me—when I think about it these days—I think of it in terms of human flourishing, which sounds great, right? Don't we all want to flourish? Human flourishing has been defined in several different ways, but some common themes are being able to look for simply living a good life. And that often feels too simple for my brain, I want more to dig into. So what are some more specific things? Living a life where you can thrive with physical and mental health. Living a life with close and meaningful social relationships, we see this again and again in the literature, happiness and life satisfaction.
