Regarding his book, Dr. Salazar-Carrillo states: After more than half a century of economic studies, I concluded that well-being is more individual than social and is directly related to spirituality and psychology. Economic decisions are influenced by these factors. Therefore, I decided to write a book that analyzes the spirit and psyche and provides rules for achieving well-being. This book is crucial for those who want to understand how to achieve personal and social well-being, especially for leaders, economists, sociologists, and anyone interested in achieving happiness and well-being.
