| Abstract | |
| Numerous results from recent medical research have revealed various ways in which environment, cultural experiences or living and working conditions affect health, with significant influences on the well-being. We shall analyse some of the challenges of today's society, and some of the consequences that they may have on relating man to the others and to the world they live in, as well as on health. We shall also make a few remarks on how entertaining offers and the usual practices of the information society could influence the drives, preoccupations and spiritual practices. Lastly, we shall discuss some common practices in the field of spiritual life that recent research has brought to attention and some evidence of their beneficial influence on health and well-being. | |
