Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Element provides an opinionated introduction to the debate in moral philosophy over identifying the basic elements of well-being and to the related debate over the nature of happiness. The question of the nature of happiness is simply the question of what happiness is (as opposed to what causes it or how to get it), and the central philosophical question about well-being is the question of what things are in themselves of ultimate benefit or harm to a person, or directly make them better or worse off.

This book was released on 2013-07-15 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the cliches that Singaporeans hold most dear is that their lives are a pursuit of the five c's: cash, cars, condominiums, credit cards, and club memberships. Over the last thirty years, Singaporeans have become accustomed to ever-increasing levels of consumption. Singapore's PAP government has 'delivered the goods', and this is recognized as a prime reason for its legitimacy. But what is the culture of this consumption? What does shopping say about Singapore society?

Download or read book Happiness and Wellbeing in Singapore written by Siok Kuan Tambyah and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-28 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To present a multifaceted and holistic perspective of what makes Singaporeans happy, Tambyah, Tan and Yuen discuss the findings and insights from the 2022 Quality of Life Survey, which examines the perceptions and views of 1,905 Singapore citizens. This is the latest survey in a series of studies on the wellbeing of Singaporeans. While the impact of the COVID- 19 pandemic on wellbeing is a timely discussion, the findings are also compared with previous surveys conducted in 2011 and 2016 to provide a longitudinal perspective of how Singaporeans’ wellbeing has evolved over the years. Key aspects of this topic include life satisfaction and satisfaction with specific life domains, aspects of affective wellbeing (e.g., happiness, enjoyment and achievement), economic wellbeing, psychological flourishing, personal values, value orientations and views on socio- political issues. Pertinent differences due to demographics such as gender, marital status, age, education and household income are also highlighted. The book also features four archetypes and clusters of Singaporeans, which are representative of the unique demographics, values and wellbeing outcomes examined. The findings and insights will be useful to academics, policy makers, practitioners, students and the general public who are interested in understanding the life satisfaction and wellbeing of Singaporeans.

Based on the author Jennifer Gargiulo’s popular blog of the same name, Diary of an Expat in Singapore packs in a wealth of quirky observations, witty one-liners, and laugh-out-loud misunderstandings as the author tries to adjust to life in a strange new land and raise two kids while at it.

Download or read book Guide To Psychiatry Singapore Perspective 16th Revision written by Kuan Tsee Chee and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2020-12-02 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Guide to Psychiatry — Singapore Perspective is the 16th revision of the original series of 'Guide to Psychiatry' which has been revised and updated every two to three years since the early 1980s. It was originally meant for new doctors posted to Woodbridge Hospital/Institute of Mental Health. However, its distribution was extended later to colleagues, general practitioners, psychologists, medical students, allied mental health workers and interested others.Much of the subject matter derives from five decades of personal clinical experience and thoughts and may be unorthodox. The current publication or version remains a guide to appreciation of psychiatry and management of local patients. Attempts are made to explain concepts, development, issues, ambiguities and principles that are commonly confronted and confusing to beginners. Analogies are freely used to aid understanding. As mentioned in earlier revisions, it does not fulfil the role of a textbook of which many have been written. Nevertheless, this little book could be read over and again with benefit by training psychiatrists, medical doctors and students and other mental health workers.
