Abstract
Both the nature of health and the nature of subjective well-being are multifaceted and are in great need of precise differentiable dimensions. The articles in this special issue perform two much-needed tasks. First, they have utilized effectively the knowledge now at hand from the work of many investigators. Second, they have pointed us in the direction in which we ought to be heading. The author sees a long series of new productive hypotheses regarding the relationships between health and subjective well-being become possible as the conceptual and measurement issues surrounding each of the two separate constructs become resolved.Keywords
