According to Martin Seligman, what are the three levels of well-being? Describe each level.
What will be an ideal response?
Seligman describes three levels of well-being: savoring, flow, and service. Savoring refers to enjoying the little things in life instead of taking them for granted. It leads to gratitude and “the pleasant life.” Flow involves knowing your strengths. When you are engaged in a task which is a strength for you, flow occurs when you lose yourself in the task and lose track of time. Flow occurs when high skills and high effort meet high challenge. The highest level of well-being involves service. When we serve others, we can achieve a “meaningful life.” It feels good for us to serve others. Even when we witness others doing service, we feel good.
