Abstract

Self-transcendence is a concept relevant to understanding how human beings attain or maintain well-being. Not surprisingly, it is similar to other concepts that are in some way linked to human well-being. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss self-transcendence particularly for its empirical support and practical relevance in promoting well-being across the health continuum. Increasing understanding and generating new ideas about self-transcendence may also facilitate continued research into self-transcendence and identification of health-promoting interventions and practices that foster well-being, particularly in difficult life situations.
