The CBD paradigm book was officially launched during a special roundtable session at the 30th Anniversary Conference of ISQOLS (International Society for Quality-of-Life Studies). 

The roundtable featured distinguished commentators of the book:

• Martijn Burger, Economist at Erasmus University and President of ISQOLS

• Tithi Bhatnagar, Psychologist at the Jindal Institute of Behavioural Sciences

Together, this multidisciplinary team highlighted the novel contributions of the CBD paradigm to the field of wellbeing studies. The discussion emphasized CBD’s unique integration of cultural context into wellbeing metrics and policy design, and its intellectual roots in the legacy of Alex Michalos, a pioneer in the culture and wellbeing research tradition.
