Wellbeing

Which model helps you see the whole person in relationship with others and place?

The Spine

  1. Te Whare Tapa Whā — understand wellbeing through a culturally grounded Māori model whose wharenui stands on whenua.
  2. Human Flourishing Scorecard — turn four weeks of evidence into one monthly experiment without sacrificing health, meaning, belonging, or integrity for contribution.

Zoom Out

Changes my mind: Another existing domain proves it can own holistic wellbeing without reducing it to health, performance, or individual practice.

Context

  • depends-on Purpose — meaning and values shape spiritual wellbeing.

  • pairs-with Healthspan — health practices support part of the whole.

  • applies-to Community — relationships and belonging make wellbeing collective.

  • applies-to Human Flourishing Scorecard — turns holistic reflection into a bounded monthly practice while keeping Te Whare Tapa Whā distinct.

  • depends-on Playbook — reusable models for better judgment and action.

  • applies-to Healthspan — practices for physical and mental health across time.

  • applies-to Community — relationships, belonging, and collective agency.

  • pairs-with Human Flourishing Scorecard — create a whole-person profile and test one guarded change this month.

Questions

Next question: What repeated evidence would show that the scorecard improves durable flourishing without duplicating or weakening Te Whare Tapa Whā?

  • Where does a health-only lens hide harm?
  • What evidence shows balance across dimensions?
