Research has widely demonstrated that the representation of the body and of its pathologies, as well as treatment and healing practices vary across cultures in relation to social norms and beliefs.The culture of India is a melting pot of nine main Darshanas, or philosophical systems, that share the common core of a realization of the self in society. India?s traditional health system, Ayurveda, is a result of the practical application of the Darshanas to the observation of human nature and behavior. Ayurveda conceptualizes health, disease and well-being as multidimensional aspects of life, and it seeks to preserve a balance in individuals among their biological features, their psychological features and their environmental demands. The Ayurveda approach to health is remarkably similar to the eudaimonic conceptualization of well-being proposed by positive psychology, and the basic tenets of Ayurveda are deeply consistent with the latest developments of modern physics, which stresses the substantial interconnectedness among natural phenomena and their substrates. This text shows how the approach to health developed in Ayurveda can be fruitfully integrated in a general view of health and well-being that encompasses cultural and ideological boundaries. Specifically, it details the conceptualization of health as an optimal and mindful interaction between individuals and their environment.  . 410 0$aCross-Cultural Advancements in Positive Psychology,$x2210-5417 ;$v5 606 $aPositive psychology 606 $aQuality of life 606 $aCulture?Study and teaching 606 $aCross-cultural psychology 606 $aHealth psychology 606 $aPositive Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y44000 606 $aQuality of Life Research$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X23000 606 $aRegional and Cultural Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411000 606 $aCross Cultural Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20100 606 $aHealth Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12020 615 0$aPositive psychology. 615 0$aQuality of life. 615 0$aCulture?Study and teaching. 615 0$aCross-cultural psychology. 615 0$aHealth psychology. 615 14$aPositive Psychology. 615 24$aQuality of Life Research. 615 24$aRegional and Cultural Studies. 615 24$aCross Cultural Psychology. 615 24$aHealth Psychology. 676 $a150.1988 676 $a610 702 $aMorandi$b Antonio$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aNambi$b A.N.Narayanan$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437962103321 996 $aAn Integrated View of Health and Well-being$92128311 997 $aUNINA
