Sustainable Transformation and Well-being. The Role of Business for Individual and Collective Flourishing.

This book is a plea for the recognition that a sustainable transformation of the economy and individual and collective well-being are inextricably linked. For despite all differences in origin, age, gender, or social background, we are united by a common goal – we want to lead a good, happy, and fulfilling life.
For a holistic understanding of sustainability that doesn't solely react to external conditions but is internally consistent and effective in the long term, the well-being of entrepreneurial individuals must be actively considered and promoted. Sustainable economic development is therefore not only a matter of technological or regulatory innovation, but also of strengthening psychological and social resources.
This book spans a spectrum from thoughts, concepts, and ideas from various scientific disciplines and cultures to concrete practical examples – and it tells the personal stories of real entrepreneurs. In doing so, it creates a broad picture of how sustainability and well-being can interact in real life and in the everyday business world.
The 27 authors of this publication thus provide diverse food for thought and invite us to further explore the symbiotic effects of sustainability and well-being from an entrepreneurial perspective and to further develop our understanding of the economy: as an economy that significantly contributes to the development of human potential and to a successful life for all.
