Let's dive deep into an often overlooked area of wellbeing: intellectual wellbeing. We'll explore what intellectual wellbeing truly means, why it matters, and how it connects to lifelong learning, wisdom, self-reflection, and even compassion toward others.
We'll break down key ideas like:
• The difference between intellect and wisdom
• Why intellectual wellbeing can’t be pinned to a single part of the brain
• How our thoughts, beliefs, and decision-making influence our lives
• Monica Dalt’s three-dimensional model (cognitive, reflective, affective)
• What it means to flourish intellectually rather than just “get by”
• How to improve your intellectual wellbeing through intentionality, curiosity, and practical daily habits
• Why people might dislike school but still genuinely love learning
