Wellbeing is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as “the state of being comfortable, healthy, or happy” However, it is important to realise that wellbeing is a much broader concept than moment-to-moment happiness. While it does include happiness, it also includes other things, such as how satisfied people are with their life as a whole, their sense of purpose, and how in control they feel.
