This book offers a new look at well-being from a multidisciplinary standpoint. Research from industry clearly indicates that factors such as creativity, critical awareness, well-being, interdisciplinary understanding of positive psychology, and the ability to form strong relationships will determine the viability of organizations as collectively we enter the second half of the twenty-first century. Thus, a sound understanding of how these facets become melded into entrepreneurship, the workplace environment, and creative innovation is a requirement for individuals in the workplace. With a dearth of information about these facets as individual components and as a collective whole, this book draws these elements of overall well-being into a multidisciplinary focus. Thus, with chapters covering diverse fields such as philosophy, education, economics, mathematics, and medicine, the book offers a fresh approach to how positive psychology impacts entrepreneurship.
