Abstract

There is a strong link between the meaning of life, successful life, book of life, and wheel of life in the management of work–life integration. The meaning of life affects the definition of a successful life, and this will ultimately affect the management of work–life integration. When employees develop their book of life, they can use many domains of life to define the meaning of life. Successful life is the cumulative well-being achieved in each domain of life. This makes it necessary to emphasize many domains while defining the meaning of life, since the loss in well-being arising from neglected domains is not recoverable from overemphasized domains. The chapter concludes by recommending the wheel of life as a tool for establishing well-being levels and continuously optimizing the levels throughout the life of an individual.
