Personal and Planetary Well-being: Mindfulness Meditation, Pro-environmental Behavior and Personal Quality of Life in a Survey from the Social Justice and Ecological Sustainability Movement

Title: Personal and Planetary Well-being: Mindfulness Meditation, Pro-environmental Behavior and Personal Quality of Life in a Survey from the Social Justice and Ecological Sustainability Movement
Abstract: Personal and Planetary Well-being Mindfulness Meditation.pdf
Description: This report analyzes the interconnectedness between mindful meditation, ecologically sustainable behavior, and subjective well-being. While other works have suggested that transitioning to ecologically sustainable behavior may diminish subjective well-being due to mass alterations in consumer behavior, this particular thesis argues that under specified circumstances, sustainable behavior may improve subject well-being. Ultimately, the search for personal well-being can be found outside of our normalized consumer culture, and establishing a relationship with nature has the potential to lead to ecologically sustainable behavior as well as subjective well-being.
