SPRINGERBRIEFS IN WELL-BEING AND QUALITY OF LIF...

This book presents a reconstruction of the history of well-being on the European continent with
special attention to the European Union  as people from Europe have a history of a long-term
march towards well-being. It discusses ancient civilizations on the European continent  which
have contributed significantly to the features of well-being in contemporary Europe. Following
Europe`s success over the past millennium  which brought the continent a unique rise to better
well-being it also imposed new challenges for sustaining well-being and alleviating misery. It
is shown that Europeans attained a high level of well-being in global comparison  yet their
attitudes remained at the same time ambivalent and precarious. Significant parts of the
population claim a low well-being and suffer from the difficulties of life. Even though a top
ranked area of socio-economic development in the world  this book shows that poverty 
inequality and hardship remain stable structural problems which have to be overcome in order to
avoid significant restrictions for a broad quality of life. But despite all their burdens and
hardships  Europeans are among the most prosperous and privileged people in the world.
