Summary

The notion of well-being is often shortened to its aspect of material achievement or financial security. Factually, it is that aspect that is being putted in question by the question of resources shortage. This issue can be partially addressed by the means of efficiency in energetic consumption and better conceived technologies, but that will by far not be enough. The individuals have to change their lifestyles drastically. In some extend, it could be perceived as a loss of one’s well-being, but in fact, even if it is difficult, making choices in one’s life more consciously may bring more satisfaction in the long run.
