The Flourishing Project: Evaluation of the Effectiveness of a Well-being Program

This protocol proposes a well-being program based on meditation and Positive Psychology principles such as human development, the improvement of virtues, quality of life and well-being. The investigators hypothesize that this program may promote well-being and reduce stress related problems in the participants. Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of a well-being program in a sample of managers who work in a company (Natura Inovação/Cosméticos ) and health care professionals who work in a hospital (Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein) as well as its implication in the work environment. Methods: Sixty managers from Natura Inovação/Cosméticos and 60 health professionals from Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein will be recruited. The participants will be randomized in two groups of 30 participants each one, half of them in the control group (GC) and the other half to the intervention group (GI).
