This 6 Minute English podcast from BBC Learning English discusses the concept of "flourishing," a term beyond general wellbeing, encompassing overall life satisfaction. Hosts Phil and Georgie explore the Global Flourishing Study, a survey of over 200,000 people across 22 countries, revealing that while high-income countries scored higher in material aspects, middle-income countries showed stronger social connections and kindness. The podcast also highlights factors contributing to flourishing, such as gratitude, kindness, savoring positive moments, and celebrating small wins, regardless of nationality or age. A quiz question about the country with the highest flourishing rate (Indonesia) is included, along with a review of key vocabulary terms.
