The Science Behind the Value Canvas
The ingredients for your best possible life, built on interdisciplinary scientific research.
Throughout history, we have all searched for the best possible life. Our experiences teach us what exactly it is that gives real value to our lives.
In recent decades, science has increasingly investigated what stimulates us, what we consciously and unconsciously seek in life. These are the foundations of our activities.
The Five Dimensions of Value
Our research shows five fundamental dimensions that contribute to a high-quality life. Each dimension is essential for human well-being and happiness.
Surviving
We need air to breathe, we need to drink to stay hydrated. We need sleep to recover mentally and physically and we need food to fuel our bodies.
Feeling at Ease
We strive to be safe. Safe from each other and from nature. We seek financial security and want to stay healthy. We also want to protect our personal lives. We long for freedom.
Connecting
We are social, relational beings. We strive for healthy relationships with our family. As we get older, we look for friends and a partner. We are tribal beings and seek meaning in our communities.
Growing
We are curious beings. We like to explore. We seek new experiences and ways to learn. We seek achievement and mastery of our talents.
Letting Go
Art gives us the tools to express ourselves and forget. We also long to be part of something greater, to help others, to sustain our environment. We long for inner peace.
