The notion of wellbeing has grown in importance and prominence across the globe in recent years and this reference work provides an in-depth examination of the characteristics that enable individuals and organizations to thrive and flourish. Under the direction of noted academic Cary Cooper, and edited by a distinguished group of senior scholars from a variety of disciplines, this project looks at wellbeing from multiple perspectives, including children and families; the workplace; the environment; later life; economics; and interventions and public policy. Spanning the social sciences and encompassing the latest research, this is an essential reference for scholars, students, professionals, and policymakers who want to enhance and promote human wellbeing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWellbeing in Later Life\u003c\/i\u003e indentifies opportunities to enhance later life and dispels many widely held misconceptions about aging.  Citing the latest research from multiple disciplines, the contributors cover all aspects of aging and wellbeing, from biological mechanisms that affect aging to lifestyle, attitudes, and social factors. They examine the challenges inherent in humanity’s increasing longevity and make recommendations for maintaining and enhancing wellbeing throughout later life. With an emphasis on the malleability of human aging, this volume forges meaningful connections between research and practice about aspects of aging that have long been considered separate but are now seen as inextricably linked.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990473687269,"sku":"NP9781118608449","price":250.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781118608449.jpg?v=1761787969","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/wellbeing-a-complete-reference-guide-wellbeing-in-later-life-isbn-9781118608449","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
