This timely edited monograph develops conceptual frameworks for creative wellbeing, exploring the impact on people’s lives and its contribution to a sustainable future, by examining case studies of how creative wellbeing is practised in a variety of contexts.Using sociocultural perspectives of creativity, the authors call to attention everyday wellbeing and the possibilities for a rich life using creative wellbeing as an action competence. Chapters use a diverse range of epistemological positions, embracing quantitative, qualitative, and posthumanist methodologies to explore how integrated nature-culture perspectives can enhance the understanding of creative wellbeing when informed by engagement in natural contexts, but also by the deep connection between nature and culture in creating meaning.Ultimately furthering research into creative wellbeing, improving practice, and inspiring nature and culture practices for all, this book will be of benefit to researchers, postgraduate students, and scholars interested in creative approaches to mental health, positive psychology, and environmental psychology, and creativity and transcendence more broadly.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.
