This book enriches this discourse and scholarship and brings the unique contributions of MV Nadkarni, a noted economist and transdisciplinary thinker of India, to the emerging field of well-being studies. It explores the multi-dimensional visions, practices, and movements for well-being at personal, interpersonal, community, state, and world levels. It goes beyond our conventional frames of knowledge and discourse and focuses on new intimations and initiatives in health, learning, knowledge, and well-being. Chapters of this volume strive to cultivate visions and practices of planetary well being dialoguing with the works of Nadkarni as well as some bringing their related works on the theme.
