The 1948 World Health Organization (WHO) definition of health as “complete physical, mental, and social well-being” has influenced the study of human flourishing and its indicators. The promotion of vitality at both individual and community levels has been a long-standing goal for public and mental health experts. Recent research suggests that positive mental health and mental illness are two distinct but interconnected domains of mental health, each with unique and common predictors that influence each other in complex ways. Positive well-being has been shown to be a strong predictor of future health outcomes, even after accounting for depression or negative effects, and its absence is a predictor of depression. Similarly, while exposome science often has a dominant focus on negative or adverse exposures affecting health, this can be enhanced by placing greater emphasis on positive or buffering exposures that enhance health outcomes. It is our contention that the increasingly sophisticated understanding of flourishing requires the integration of social, psychological, and biological determinants, and is therefore, highly relevant to exposome science-the study of the total environment. These historical aspects of flourishing are important as a means to highlight the struggle to define both health and flourishing, and the purpose of “medicine”, as either a decidedly narrow or broad discipline. Here, in our narrative viewpoint, we consider the emerging science of flourishing in the context of the parallel emergence of “high-level wellness” and “exposome science”, and the wider biopsychosocial determinants of health. We explore why incorporating measures of vitality, together with a broader biopsychosocial approach, considers all dimensions of the environment across time (the total exposome), which will greatly advance research, policies, and actions to achieve human flourishing.
We also explore the construct of “vitality”, which refers to a sense of aliveness, energy, and motivation we contend that this has been neglected in the flourishing movement. Here, we explore this history and the rapid acceleration of research into human flourishing, defined as “the relative attainment of a state in which all aspects of a person’s life are good” by the Harvard University’s Flourishing Program. However, it is only in recent years, in part due to the USD 43 million Global Flourishing Study including 22 countries, that flourishing has entered the mainstream discourse. In the mid-20th century, social psychologists and health scientists began exploring the concept of flourishing in the context of health and high-level wellness. What do you think about this?

This can lead to a more sedentary lifestyle and contribute to weight gain, which in turn can make breathing even more difficult. With reduced lung capacity, people may not be able to exercise as vigorously or for as long as they are used to. The effort required to breathe can be exhausting, leaving people feeling tired and lacking energy.
People may find themselves easily out of breath, even with mild exertion such as walking short distances, climbing stairs, or even talking. Having 40 percent lung capacity means that your lungs are functioning at only 40 percent of their normal capacity, which can have a significant impact on your day-to-day life. How can 40 percent lung capacity affect our day-to-day lives? And it's not surprising that his music and his life story continue to move people. Numerous fans have followed him on social media thanks to his extraordinary talent and unwavering spirit. This video serves as evidence that, if you put your mind to something, nothing can stop you. She rapped along with him as he played the instruments as she described the fascinating journey of this man. And it was carried out in a manner that was wholly original. Shenaz Treasury, a travel blogger, posted the video on Instagram to share the man's motivational story with the world. Gladson Peter boasts that he is the only person in India who can play 14 instruments at once and says he wants to get into the Guinness Book of World Records. It's been a while since I've done this, but I've been meaning to for a while. However, the most encouraging fact is that his lung capacity is only 40%. Even more intriguing is the fact that he can simultaneously play 14 different instruments. This amazing man has mastered 49 instruments, whereas some people find it difficult to master even one.
