Inside the Guide

A working vocabulary, not a whitepaper

Nine pages built to be used — in program design, proposals, board reports, and everyday copy.

01

The domains of a full life

Six domains that give the field a whole-life picture of flourishing — a complete map to design and describe programs against.

02

The Flourishing Index, precisely

What the validated self-report measure is — and, just as clearly, what it is not. Precision is what makes it credible.

03

A shared vocabulary

Eight terms, exactly defined, so your programs and reports speak the same language as the wider field.

04

The case for a common language

Why clients, funders, partners, and your own team all read a shared standard as a mark of seriousness.

05

Speaking it well

A practical instead-of/say-this table that keeps your descriptions confident, credible, and exact — under real scrutiny.

06

Two clear pathways

Free under Creative Commons for non-commercial use; a clear, formula-driven license when a product containing the Flourishing Index is sold.

Who It's For

Written for the people who lead wellness

The guide assumes competence. It adds a recognized standard to good work already underway.

Builders

Founders & product leads

Teams building wellness platforms, programs, and offerings who want a validated measure — and a recognized mark — inside what they make.

Practitioners

Coaches & program leaders

Practitioners who already use credible tools and want a shared language their clients, peers, and accreditors recognize.

Mission-driven

Nonprofits & researchers

Teams measuring flourishing in research, education, and community programs — where the Flourishing Index is free under Creative Commons.

Plain Terms

What the Flourishing Index is — and is not

Being precise is part of what makes it credible. The guide is equally direct.

It is

  • A validated self-report measure of flourishing, spanning the domains of a full life
  • Created by the Human Flourishing Program
  • Used and trusted worldwide
  • A complement to the credible assessments you already use

It is not

  • A clinical assessment or medical instrument
  • A diagnostic or screening tool — it does not detect, diagnose, evaluate, or treat any condition
  • A prediction about anyone's future health or life outcomes
  • A replacement for the professional tools and judgment your field relies on

The Flourishing Index reflects what a person reports about their own flourishing — nothing more, and nothing less. That honesty is exactly why it can be trusted.
