What is Life Quality?
In the Norwegian Directorate of Health's publication “Well-being in Norwegian” from 2015, we can read the following:
“Recommendations from the WHO and the OECD, as well as experiences from public health work in the UK, support the Norwegian Directorate of Health's choice to engage in the international concept of well-being and take advantage of the associated field of research. This has been called "the well-being lens". When we observe public health work through these glasses, the population's satisfaction with life, positive relationships and experience of mastery and belonging are as important as data on disease incidence and premature death.
This perspective is thus an important reminder that the psychosocial aspects of life have been underestimated in community planning.
Material prosperity is important, but is not enough alone. Human welfare and well-being also depend on whether material conditions provide opportunity for participation, social contact and experience of meaning. This may be an old insight, but the research that is emerging makes it possible to address this in public health work. ”.

What is Personal Growth?
Personal growth or development involves prioritizing our psychosocial needs, taking proactive steps to enhance our well-being and our interactions with others. This process encompasses acquiring knowledge, skills, and behaviors that enable us to lead healthier, more creative and joyful lives.
There are various theories and methods available to guide us in this journey. The most effective approaches typically combine theoretical knowledge with practical training, increasing self-understanding and strengthening self-esteem.
Personal growth empowers us to set boundaries and express our needs, leading to greater balance, well-being, and constructive relationships both at home and in the workplace.

Why Personal Growth?
Despite advancements in science, technology, and financial resources in the world, too many people struggle with the lack of well-being. While we strive to attain a good education and a well-paid job to meet our needs, this often leads to stress, exhaustion, and dissatisfaction. The prevalence of anxiety, depression, and chronic illness continues to rise. Underlying this is a pervasive, often unconscious, frustration that life is not as it should be, even if we cannot precisely identify what is missing.
Personal growth involves identifying the problems in our lives and finding ways to address them. This process often leads to increased self-insight and self-knowledge, allowing us to understand ourselves on a deeper level and uncover our more profound, existential needs. By gaining this awareness, we can learn to live more fully and balanced, ultimately achieving the inner satisfaction we all seek.
