Leading to Well-Being

Chapter 8 in Promoting Workplace Well-Being, 2009, pp 103-116 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract What we want and what we need are quite complex, stemming in part from our origins in small cohesive, tribal groups and our expansion into increasingly individual states of being within a globalized marketplace for labour and goods. Humans have perhaps moved from being big fish in small pools to small fish in a massive pool. In each human life we also have a continuing struggle between the twin desires of intimacy and autonomy. Within all of these often conflicting states, we have an increasingly complex struggle for identity. At one time, identity was formed for good or ill, often through group and community states; now we are increasingly having to make and remake who we are (see Bauman, 2005, 2007).
