Subjective well-being and leisure. In W. Leal Filho, T., Wall, A. Marisa Azul, L. Brandli, & P.

This chapter discusses subjective well-being within the context of the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) encompassed the key social, environmental and economic dimensions that can universally improve peoples’ lives and protect the planet for future generations. Sustainable Development Goal 3 in particular focuses on ensuring health and promoting well-being for all people, at all ages. Statistics on well-being are increasingly measured, in part, through accounts of subjective well-being (SWB). In this chapter we define SWB, placing it within the context of overall well-being, and summarize the relevant literature to date. The chapter examines hedonic and eudaimonic well-being, introduces global measurements of SWB and discusses both barriers to and facilitators of SWB, focusing particularly on the role of leisure, especially nature-based leisure, as a unique and useful way of developing, maintaining and enhancing SWB.
