SUMMARY
The centre for wellbeing at nef was commissioned by the UK Government's Foresight programme to develop a set of evidence-based actions to improve personal well-being.

A review of the most up-to-date evidence suggests that building the following five actions into our day-to-day lives is important for well-being:
