Wellbeing and Self-Transformation in Natural Landscapes
by Rebecca CrowtherThis book explores how natural landscapes are linked to positive mental wellbeing. While natural landscapes have long been represented and portrayed as transformative, the link to mental wellbeing is an area that researchers are still aiming to comprehend. Accompanying five groups of people to rural Scotland, the author considers individual, external and group motivations for journeying from urban environments, examining in what ways these excursions are personally and socially transformative. Far more than traversing mere physical boundaries, this book illustrates the new challenges, experiences, territories and cultures provided by these excursions, firmly anchored in the Scottish countryside. In doing so, the author questions the extent to which people’s own narratives link to the perception that the outdoors are positively transformative – and what indeed does have the power to influence transformation. Grounded in extensive qualitative research, this contemplative and ethnographic book will be of interest and value to students and scholars of the outdoors and its connection to wellbeing.
Wellbeing and the Legal Academy (SpringerBriefs in Education)
by Emma Jones Caroline StrevensThis book provides a novel contribution to the wider bodies of literature on student and academic wellbeing by including a series of rich and nuanced discussions of specific aspects of the wellbeing of legal academics. It contains original research contributions on this topic drawing on insights from law, education and psychology and throws a spotlight on an emerging field of interest. In particular, it focuses attention on the need to understand the implications of workload, communication, competence, and community for academic wellbeing with the collection providing insight as to the amelioration of stress linked to these themes. Reference will be made to the key factors which influence each of these themes, such as the neo-liberal academy, the contours and staffing of the law school, the impact of COVID-19 and the role of values and ethics. Relevant theoretical perspectives relating to these themes, including self-determination theory and the notion of an ethic of care, will also be discussed.
Wellbeing for Infants and Toddlers in Education and Care: International Perspectives (Policy and Pedagogy with Under-three Year Olds: Cross-disciplinary Insights and Innovations #6)
by Gloria Quinones Andrea DelauneThis collection explores key issues related to infant and toddler wellbeing, offering diverse international perspectives on how wellbeing is culturally understood. Scholars from Drawing from Australia, Aotearoa (New Zealand), Brazil, Greece, Norway, Portugal and the UK present local conceptualizations that contribute to a broader, global understanding of wellbeing. The international contributors examine wellbeing as a crucial construct, emphasising the importance of relationships, health, emotions, imagination, and professional practice in infant-toddler education. Their research covers various topics, including transitions, peer relationships, love, interactions with objects and environments, conceptualisations of time, pedagogical weaving, Indigenous knowledge, and intra-connectedness. This book highlights the significance of relationships—between people, places, objects, and time—in shaping wellbeing. It challenges readers to reconsider wellbeing as both central to pedagogy and deeply interconnected with humans, non-humans, and vibrant environments. Drawing on diverse theoretical frameworks and research projects, the collection offers rich, multifaceted insights into wellbeing across varied contexts.

Wellbeing in Doctoral Education: Insights and Guidance from the Student Experience
by Lynette Pretorius Luke Macaulay Basil Cahusac de CauxThis book offers a range of personal and engaging stories that highlight the diverse voices of doctoral students as they explore their own learning journeys. Through these stories, doctoral students call for an academic environment in which the discipline-specific knowledge gained during their PhD is developed in concert with the skills needed to maintain personal wellbeing, purposely reflect on experiences, and build intercultural competence. In recent years, wellbeing has been increasingly recognised as an important aspect of doctoral education. Yet, few resources exist to help those who support doctoral students. Wellbeing in Doctoral Education provides a voice for doctoral students to advocate for improvements to their own educational environment. Both the struggles and the strategies for success highlighted by the students are, therefore, invaluable not only for the students themselves, but also their families, their social networks, and academia more broadly. Importantly, the doctoral students’ stories should be a clarion call for those in decision-making positions in academia. These narratives demonstrate that it is imperative that academic institutions invest in providing the skills and support that doctoral students need to succeed academically and flourish emotionally.
Wellbeing in Higher Education: Cultivating a Healthy Lifestyle Among Faculty and Students (Routledge Research in Educational Psychology)
by Marcus A. Henning Christian U. Krägeloh Rachel Dryer Fiona Moir Rex Billington Andrew G. HillAcademic staff and students within higher education settings are confronted by a learning environment that is academically stimulating, informative, career-focused and socially rich, which can be intensely competitive and highly charged. Within this learning environment, academic staff and students are often at risk of compromising their wellbeing in their pursuit of academic excellence. This book provides an examination of the key areas that are important to the sustenance of wellbeing within higher education settings, with a view to promoting healthy learning environments. The chapter authors are predominantly working in the Asia-Pacific rim, but the book also includes more universal perspectives. The synthesis of the issues covered in the book is crucial to the understanding of higher education as not only an environment for gaining knowledge and skills relevant for success in academic and career domains, but also as an environment for developing socially adept and authentic communication skills. The ideas presented in this book will further assist academic staff and students to consider ways to more fully participate in their learning environment so that they can optimize their valuable contributions to the professional communities they serve.
Wellbeing in Higher Education: Harnessing Mind and Body Potentialities (Routledge Research in Educational Psychology)
by Yan Chen Marcus A. Henning Christian U. Krägeloh Fiona Moir Craig S. WebsterDrawing on holistic research and professional practice, this book provides rich empirical, scientific, and clinical lenses to the discourse on wellbeing in higher education. The authors have appraised the underlying, conceptual, empirical, and applied nature of existing mind-body programmes often utilized to cultivate wellbeing (e.g., seated meditation, yoga, Taijiquan, Pilates, Feldenkrais, biofeedback, and the Alexander technique). Higher education is touted as a sector that develops new ideas for the wider community as well as ensuring students are provided with the skills, knowledge, and attitudes to positively contribute to the wider community. Within this setting, there are numerous benefits (e.g., attaining a reputable qualification), but there are also risks (e.g., stressors associated with expectations). To ensure the higher education setting is a place of wellbeing in addition to achievement, several strategies are promoted to assist staff and students whilst working and studying. Chapters offer clear implications for research and practice, and explore effective strategies for enhancing wellbeing for students and staff. The integrative mind-body programmes have considerable potential for developing wellbeing in the higher education settings. As such, this book will appeal to academics and researchers in the higher education sector, including scholar-practitioners, and teacher educators.

Wellness-Based Addictions Counseling: Facilitating Holistic Recovery
by Todd F. Lewis Philip B. ClarkeThis book presents a culture change in addictions treatment that places wellness at the forefront of relapse, addiction, and recovery. The authors introduce a wellness-based conceptualization of addiction and recovery including the wellness model that grounds Wellness-Based Addictions Counseling (WBAC) and the techniques of this approach. Wellness-Based Addictions Counseling advocates for wellness as the primary variable in addiction and recovery outcomes, presents a wellness-based model of addiction and recovery, and highlights techniques for unlocking the motivational and strength-based aspects of this approach. Specifically, the authors provide wellness questions and screening tools to incorporate into the clinical evaluation and structure for creating a wellness plan and family wellness plan for the client’s loved ones. Readers will learn numerous wellness-based techniques related to the mind, body, spirit, emotions, and connection that can prevent relapse and facilitate well-being. All WBAC interventions are grounded in developmental, culturally responsive, and strength-based perspectives. Wellness-Based Addictions Counseling is essential reading for professionals who provide addictions treatment and counseling as well as scholars who conduct writing and research on addiction.
Weltraum – Extreme Lebensräume und deren Bewohnbarkeit: Gestaltung im Kontext von isolierten und eingeschränkten Bedingungen - auf der Erde und im Weltraum
by Sandra Häuplik-Meusburger Sheryl BishopDieses Buch erforscht kreative Lösungen für die einzigartigen Herausforderungen, die mit der Gestaltung bewohnbarer Räume in extra-terrestrischen Umgebungen verbunden sind. Ziel ist es, einen konstruktiven Dialog zwischen den Forschern und Planern zukünftiger (Weltraum-)Lebensräume zu fördern. Die Autoren untersuchen die verschiedenen Konzepte des Begriffs Habitability [auf Deutsch Bewohnbarkeit] aus der Perspektive der Bewohner sowie der Planer und Sozialwissenschaften. Das Buch gibt einen Überblick über die Entwicklung und die Fortschritte in der Gestaltung von Lebensräumen für bemannte Raumfahrzeuge und -habitate, und inkludiert auch analoge Forschungs- und Simulationseinrichtungen in extremen Umgebungen auf der Erde. Es zeigt auf, wie verschiedene Konzepte der Habitabilität gestalterisch umgesetzt wurden und welche noch fehlen. Der Schwerpunkt dieses Buches liegt auf der Identifizierung der wesentlichen Faktoren und kreativer Lösungen zur Schaffung von Lebensräumen, in denen sich Menschen wohlfühlen. Ausgewählte Aspekte werden vor einem sozial-räumlichen fachlichen Hintergrund diskutiert und mögliche Anwendungen aufgezeigt. Human Factors und Habitability Design sind wichtige Themen für jedwede Arbeits- und Lebensräume. Für die bemannte Erforschung des Weltraums sind sie von entscheidender Bedeutung. Zwar wurden menschliche Faktoren und bestimmte Aspekte der Bewohnbarkeit in den Entwurfsprozess von bemannten Raumfahrzeugen integriert, doch besteht die Dringlichkeit von der reinen funktionalen Überlebensfähigkeit, in ein den Menschen unterstützendes Design überzugehen. Seit einigen Jahren anerkennt die NASA das Risiko eines inkompatiblen Fahrzeug- oder Habitatdesigns als ein Hauptrisiko für die menschliche Gesundheit und Leistungsfähigkeit im Weltraum an. Die Bewohnbarkeit und die menschlichen Faktoren werden für die Gestaltung künftiger langfristiger und kommerzieller Weltraumeinrichtungen noch wichtiger werden, wenn größere und unterschiedlichere Gruppen Lebensräume außerhalb der Erde nutzen. Das Buch wird nicht nur Personen und Organisationen zugutekommen, die für bemannte Raumfahrtmissionen und Missionssimulatoren verantwortlich sind, sondern bietet auch relevante Informationen für Gestalter terrestrischer rauer Umgebungen (z. B. abgelegene Betriebs- und Forschungseinrichtungen, Krankenhäuser, Gefängnisse, Produktionsstätten). Darüber hinaus werden Erkenntnisse über die sozio-räumliche Beziehung vorgestellt, die für Sozialwissenschaftler, Ingenieure und Architekten im Allgemeinen von Interesse sind.
