Futures Forum: Getting the balance right and avoiding burnout
It can also be seen in terms of creating greater 'resilience' for both society and individuals:
Futures Forum: Building resilience in local communities and economies: the Transition Town movement today
Futures Forum: A resilient world @ Costing the Earth
Although, of course, the term is open to abuse:
Futures Forum: Budgeting for resilience?
Futures Forum: The 'sharing economy', 'resilience' and 'nudging': Evgeny Morozov on "The rise of data and the death of politics"

What exactly is 'salutogenisis'?
Salutogenesis is a term coined by Aaron Antonovsky,[1] a professor of medical sociology. The term describes an approach focusing on factors that support human health and well-being, rather than on factors that cause disease. More specifically, the "salutogenic model" is concerned with the relationship between health, stress, and coping.
There are generalized resistance resources (GRRs), which are all of the resources that help a person cope and are effective in avoiding or combating a range of psychosocial stressors. Examples are resources such as money, ego-strength, and social support. GRDs will cause the coping mechanisms to fail whenever the sense of coherence is not robust to weather the current situation.
