The Wellbeing Recipe: A Comprehensive Framework For Enhancing Life Satisfaction And Happiness Through Multidimensional Interventions

Abstract

This study explores the multidimensional nature of wellbeing through the comprehensive framework of "The Wellbeing Recipe," which integrates eight distinct pillars: physical health, cognitive patterns, emotional regulation, transcendence, social connections, professional fulfillment, financial literacy, and technological balance. The research examines the hypothesis that holistic wellbeing emerges from the synergistic integration of these dimensions rather than isolated improvements in any single domain. A cross-sectional survey methodology was employed with 495 participants aged 18-65 years across urban and rural settings in India. Results demonstrate strong positive correlations between multidimensional wellbeing practices and overall life satisfaction scores. The Personal Wellbeing Index (PWI) scores averaged 80.06, significantly higher than Asian norms. Physical health emerged as the primary happiness determinant (50%), followed by relationships (42%), and professional satisfaction (38%). Statistical analyses reveal that integrated approaches incorporating multiple wellbeing dimensions yield superior outcomes compared to single-domain interventions. The study validates the 4A model (Learning, Attitude, Soul, Action) as an effective framework for sustainable wellbeing enhancement. Findings underscore the critical importance of addressing wellbeing holistically, with implications for individual development, organizational culture, and public health policy in the Indian context.
