Motivation of this project
A survey of more than 10 000 people invetigated five main aspects of our lives:
- Healthy body, reflecting your fitness and healthy habits;
- Healthy mind, indicating how well you embrace positive emotions;
- Expertise, measuring the ability to grow your expertise and achieve something unique;
- Connection, assessing the strength of your social network and your inclination to discover the world;
- Meaning, evaluating your compassion, generosity and how much 'you are living the life of your dream'.
This was done with questions related to 23 attributes, among them: daily stress, daily shouting, lost vacation, daily consumption of fruits and vegetables, daily steps, BMI range, sufficient salary, core circle, achievement, life vision, time for passion, flow, sleep hours.
This notebook is an exploration of this dataset with the intent to understand our daily habits, their impact on our daily stress and on what to focus more to have a work-life balance
