In fact, one in three respondents to this year’s survey said their wellbeing is lower than it has ever been before and—although more than 67% of people ranked their wellbeing as a top priority—only 12% said they thought theirs was where it should be.

In fact, multiple barriers to wellbeing feel harder to overcome and social pressures make wellbeing feel harder to achieve:\n\n\n\n30% don’t have the time to think about their wellbeing.\n\n\n\n51% a...
