Conclusion.-.This volume is a unique contribution to the exploration of a new perspective in the study of well-being, which tries to overcome the quantification bias by creating an account of ‘the good life’ in a specific place. Rather than numbers, this research focuses on local narratives, emphasising the urgent need to include a wider range of methodological approaches when engaging with well-being.   The volume demonstrates through the Bolivian case study the value of qualitative research for well-being studies. It shows the potential to integrate predominant quantitative data with qualitative outcomes, such as those emerging through ethnography. It is aimed at academics, researchers and students in well-being/quality of life studies, as well as audiences in the non-profit, governmental and policy in the non-profit sectors. The book provides new perspectives in achieving better indicators of well-being and quality-of-life.           .SpringerBriefs in Well-Being and Quality of Life Research,2211-7644Quality of lifeExperiential researchPersonalitySocial psychologyQuality of Life Researchhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X23000Psychology Researchhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20000Personality and Social Psychologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20050Quality of life.Experiential research.Personality.Social psychology.Quality of Life Research.Psychology Research.Personality and Social Psychology.996.900495Calestani Melaniaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1060674BOOK9910438338303321An Anthropological Journey into Well-Being2514836UNINA
