PILLARS MODEL IN CONTEXT
Understanding The Underpinnings Of Life Balance
The Pillars Model is firmly grounded in psychological and philosophical traditions. From a psychological perspective, it resonates with Maslow's hierarchy of needs, where different aspects of life must be fulfilled to achieve higher levels of self-actualization. The emphasis on Wellbeing aligns with positive psychology's focus on mental and emotional health (Seligman, 2002). The Relationships pillar connects with theories of social bonds and their impact on overall happiness (Baumeister & Leary, 1995).
Philosophically, the model reflects Aristotelian ethics, where balance and moderation lead to a virtuous life. The idea of balance in various life domains can also be traced to Eastern philosophies, like Taoism, where harmony within different aspects of life is key to overall well-being. By weaving these diverse threads, the Pillars Model provides a contemporary approach that draws on age-old wisdom. It acknowledges the complexity of modern life and offers a holistic, well-rounded framework to navigate this complexity with grace and purpose, backed by time-tested principles.
