Zusammenfassung

Was beinhaltet das gute Leben und wie gestaltet sich der Weg dorthin? Das Kapitel gibt eine Einführung in die Thematik der Lebenskunst. Hierzu wird zunächst Bezug auf die Fragestellung nach einem guten Leben sowie dessen Kriterien genommen. Anschließend werden bereits bestehende Konstrukte des Wohlbefindens beschrieben und von eigenen theoretischen Überlegungen abgegrenzt. Es werden philosophische Überlegungen als theoretisches Fundament aufgegriffen, um die eigenen Gedanken zur Entstehung des Lebenskunst-Modells herzuleiten. Letztlich wird das psychologische Modell der Lebenskunst mit dessen Bestandteilen beschrieben und aufgezeigt, warum es sich lohnt sich mit der Thematik auseinander zu setzen.
