Rezensionen

"This book ... seeks to show that different methodologies not only shed light upon the different aspects of wellbeing but also play an active role in generating a variety of data and analyses which allow the construction of different explanations. ... it further emphasizes the importance of the emerging concept of relational well-being, which is a major find that renders this textbook important and necessary to researchers focused in this field of study." (Walter N. Toscano, Applied Research in Quality of life, Vol. 12, 2017)
