The Power of Wellbeing: A blueprint for rebuilding the social fabric and reimagining an inclusive society

Something is wrong with the world. You can feel it in the inequality that keeps growing, the institutions that keep failing, the communities that keep fraying. We have been told this is inevitable. It is not.

In The Power of Wellbeing, Clive Elliott KC barrister, arbitrator, and civic thinker makes a rigorous and urgent case for rebuilding society around what actually makes human life go well: not just wealth or productivity, but genuine, collective wellbeing.

Drawing on systems thinking, inclusive leadership, and the hard lessons of the post-pandemic era, Elliott shows why incremental policy change will never be enough and what transformational change looks like in practice. This is not a self-help book. It is a blueprint for a better society.

The Power of Wellbeing is essential reading for policymakers and public servants who want a framework for change, not just a description of problems. It is for social entrepreneurs and civic leaders who are building solutions and need to understand the system they are working within. And it is for every thoughtful citizen who believes we can do better and wants to know how.
