Well-being is a well-established and growing field within psychology, and an increasingly popular area of study for psychology students. However,\xa0 it's also challenging to define: What does good well-being look like for any person, and what do we need to know to study it?\xa0

A team of researchers, led by Dr William Tov of Singapore Management University, attempt to define well-being, not only to guide fellow researchers teaching it, but also for the general public.\xa0 They uncovered eight major findings from the field of subjective well-being, and were able to provide guidelines as to how universities can teach those findings in a psychology curriculum.
