Identifies the nature of well-being through analysis of in-depth interviews with Indians on what good life means to them
This book explains well-being through insights gathered from qualitative interviews with Indians from different walks of life. It shows that well-being is mixed and transient, shifting in interactions. It reveals the universals that lead to well-being, bringing out interlinkages between health, wealth, and pleasure. Explaining variations by gender, class, age, and individual choice, the book highlights the distinctive insights in Indian religious traditions about life satisfaction.
Derné enjoys India’s people, food, music, religions, ambiance, and ways of life. He once lived in Banaras for 15 months, has been visiting the Himalayas for more than 30 years, and has completed a bus pilgrimage to Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. He has been to four jyotirlingas and discovered a fifth in North America! Insights and practices from life in India shape his daily life in the USA: He starts his morning with Indian tea, worships Lord Shiva atop a local hill, lives in walking distance of a samosa shop, and listens to ragas on his way to teach at university. He has kayaked off Burma in the Bay of Bengal, in Baja, California, and around the islets off the Hawaiian islands. One of his pleasures is riding horses fast in places like the Sahara, Patagonia, and the Genesee valley. He has ridden horses with his wife in Rajasthan and in Assam. He enjoys running every day, whether through crowded lanes in Indian cities or amidst the vibrant spring, steamy summer, colorful fall, or snowy winters of upstate New York. He lives in Rochester, New York, with his wife Lisa Jadwin and three cats.
