内容提要：What counts a good life for those who are living it? This question has been investigated since antiquity. There are broadly two kinds of research: (1) Indicator-based surveys that tend to measure people’s satisfaction relating to the drivers/causes of well-being; (2) subjective measures that aim to capture people’s self-reported thoughts and feelings about various aspects of life and their psychological well-being. However, neither measures seem to allow the individuals to perceive the good life or well-being in ways that take into account the richness, values and dignity of human life. In this presentation, I draw on a recently complete in-depth qualitative study that investigated into well-being from the participants’ perspectives. Taking a life history approach, this study interviewed 50 British people from different works of life and through analysing these individuals' accounts, we conclude that personal narrative is a key to illustrate holistically people’s well-being in a phenomenological world.
