Summary:
In this video, Dr. Richard Kim discusses the Confucianist view of well-being. He explains that the tradition highlights the importance of rituals, such as graduation ceremonies and funerals, in cultivating certain habits and dispositions. While Western theories of well-being may not emphasize rituals, Confucianism sees them as essential for building a harmonious community. Kim also explores the value of conformity and stability in society, as well as the interconnectedness of individual and societal well-being.
