The Six Domains of Optimal Health
Stress
Management
Stress is an unavoidable and essential part of our human experience. Stress management—not elimination—drives personal growth, builds optimism and resilience, and enhances our overall sense of well-being and satisfaction.
Physical
Health
Optimal physical health is built around four lifestyle habits: prioritize healthy eating, be physically active, engage in resistance training, and sleep well. Together, these practices will keep you both vibrant and healthy.
Mental
Vitality
The quality of our thoughts can significantly impact our physical and emotional well-being. By learning to guide and refine our thoughts, we gain a powerful tool for influencing our mental state, productivity, and sense of vitality.
Purposeful
Living
Living with purpose represents our most basic psychological need, rooted in our soul’s yearning to live a life of meaning. Purposeful living infuses our days with a heightened sense of feeling alive and energetic.
Social
Connectivity
We all have a basic psychological need to connect and feel connected to others. Social connectivity grants us a sense of vitality and better performance in each of the five other domains of health.
Emotional
Mastery
Emotional mastery is a key asset for living powerfully. Harnessing positive emotions such as joy and enthusiasm can increase our sense of vitality and provide us with the motivation and confidence to do hard things in life.

The 6 Domains of Health
Medical researchers, psychologists, philosophers and many insightful people have long debated what defines health and human flourishing. But in our evidence-based era, we do not need to debate what promotes health anymore.
By studying what factors protect or injure the biological functioning of the human body, we uncover which factors are indeed health promoting or health damaging. Scientific study defines six domains that promote or damage our health. Physical health is only one of these domains. The others include the quality of our thoughts, emotions, social connections, pursuit of meaning, and navigation of stress.
Those factors which protect our health also promote vitality—a pleasurable inner sense of feeling energetic. This website is dedicated to teaching you how to flourish in each of the six domains of health and vitality.
