Abstract

Our present higher educational system is not adapted to the native conditions of modern life. Higher education is expected to produce happy and well adjusted persons. This dimension of education is related with the happiness and wellness of the students. Wellness is a concern for optimizing human behavior and functioning and for integrating body, mind and spirit as part of this process. The Wheel of Wellness model proposes the significance of five-life tasks as central to healthy functioning. These tasks are spirituality, self direction, work and leisure, friendship and love. Wheel of Wellness model can easily apply in higher education through dynamic and enlightened teachers, participative and interactive lectures, active learning and multimedia technologies, clear objectives and tools and self development, personality development and value education programs.
